Many "overview" books assume that the reader is a semi-animated managerial type who can't handle any technicalities at all. Thankfully, Windows NT, UNIX, NetWare Migration and Coexistence: A Professional's Guide isn't like that. In this book, Rajagopal provides decision-makers with a comprehensive view of integration problems and solutions. While the author doesn't provide much step-by-step guidance, he does supply the reader with enough information to make informed decisions about which technologies to investigate further, and which to ignore.

Rajagopal begins by talking about porting applications. This book distinguishes itself in its discussion about the conversion of Windows NT programs to Unix, and Unix to Windows NT. The author covers cross-platform program development, but ignores Java. Instead, he focuses on isolating environment-specific code from business logic, and on using development tools like the WISE software developer's kit (SDK), computer-aided software engineering (CASE), and integrated CASE. Rajagopal proceeds to discuss emulators (including NTRIGUE and Samba) that, in various combinations, permit Windows NT boxes to act like Unix machines.

More pedestrian stuff gets attention, too: the author explains file and printer sharing across platforms, as well as mutual administration and electronic mail integration. His fact-dense prose is marred only by some grainy and otherwise poorly produced illustrations.

If you're trying to decide on the approach to integration and migration that's right for your organization, this book will help you explore all the options. --David Wall

Book Description

Virtually every corporation is examining migration/coexistence issues, searching for ways to unite Windows products into their current computer environments. What tools and options enable these disparate products from different vendors to work jointly?

This relevant resource offers essential information for integrating Windows NT into UNIX and NetWare bases, examining developing systems for mission-critical enterprise computing tasks. Considering the market dominance of Windows NT as the server of choice, the book

Addresses and solves widespread integration problems Demonstrates the migration of UNIX applications to Windows Gives instruction on how to add the Windows NT server to
UNIX/NetWare bases Identifies and resolves portability problems Explains graphic user interfaces and the protection of legacy systems

This manual fulfills the need for a thorough reference showing the strengths of different products and how to maximize these strengths.

The work provides critical insight and understanding for:

Software developers -- offering an overview and guidelines of available
products, Web addresses and other references Managers/architects -- outlining migration/coexistence solutions and
listing the advantages and disadvantages of different options System administrators -- showing how equivalent functions work on
different environments

This exceptional guidebook presents the necessary tools for the migration/coexistence for NT, UNIX, and NetWare in a clear, understandable framework.
