Abstract. This paper presents a new Win32 emulation layer called nt2unix. It supports source code compatible Win32 console applications on UNIX. We focus on the emulation of specific Win32 features used for system programming like exception handling, virtual memory management, NT thread synchronization and the WinSock API. As a case study, we ported the all-software DSM system SVMlib-consisting of about 15.000 lines of C++ code written natively for the Win32 API-to Sun Solaris with absolutely no source code changes. 1
