From IBM to VAX : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)
Julie A. Collis · Cardinal Scholar (Ball State University) · 1991
The Department of Natural Resources wanted a program called Hothouse to be made available on the VAX system, in addition to the current version they have running on IBM PC's. The process of making a program identical to the original, but on a different system, is called porting. In other words, Hothouse is to be ported from IBM to VAX. Originally, the porting was attempted through the language of BASIC, but eventually the program was ported through pascal. Graphics were completely redrawn using ReGIS.
