I have ported a fair amount of Unix code (50K+ lines of C, shell
scripts, makefiles, etc.) to the Apollo, and in general (speaking post
SR9.2) I would say it's relativly painless.  The major differences
usually crop up in programs that want to know lots about /dev/kmem,
a.out.h, or the guts of stdio.h.  I would say it's much easier to port
code to Domain/IX than to try and port it across different versions of
Unix (say, from 4.2 BSD to ATT Sys5).

Cheers,
