Abstract

In this paper we will observe that there were sound reasons why multiplatform software development was once regarded as impossible. When the reasons disappeared, the belief of impossibility remained. The first ports of UNIX helped to destroy that belief, opening a floodgate to subsequent UNIX ports and multi-platform software developments.
