Does the Number Class depend on the platform or operating system?
No. The Base/1 Number Class is independent of all platforms and operating systems because it is written in ANSI standard C++ and uses the Standard Template Library (STL). It can be used in various environments like DOS, Windows, UNIX, LINUX, etc., all of which have a standard ANSI/C++ compiler. However, we test only on Win32 platforms, with MS Visual C++, and supply only those makefiles. We’ve been careful to use only the most basic C++ features and the standard, public STL interface. In addition, we have upgraded the source code whenever developers have reported minor compilation errors when working with non Microsoft compilers. This means that you can develop portable, cross-platform applications using Base One’s Number Class.
