The computational code in the SCoP system could easily be made to run on any system with an ANSI compatible C compiler. However, the user interface of SCoP programs — an important part of the SCoP system — is designed with specific drivers for the Windows and UNIX X-Windows environments and is not readily adapted to other systems. The UNIX version of SCoP has been run under types of UNIX other than Solaris since this version is delivered in the form of source code and command files. Examples of other UNIX systems where SCoP is being used include LINUX and Silicon Graphics workstations. Simulation Resources, Inc. does not directly support SCoP on these alternate platforms, but we can often provide the information necessary to help an experienced systems person get SCoP operational on them. For Macintosh users, the Windows version of SCoP can be run under the latest version of VirtualPC.
