Chris - in case this sounds a bit foreign, this just means transferring
data between the two machines from within your program (via a network, for
example).  

Other than this one example, you shouldn't see any differences.  Linux is
very close to POSIX compliance (if it's not already there) so there
shouldn't be any differences between file handles and data structure
manipulation using standard library calls.

I found porting my XNotesPlus between Linux and Solaris to amount to little
more than recompiling, even with signals.
