*** ok I see,

    While the C source itself is realtively portable, the executable image 
produced on one platform is by no mean gaurunteed ( nor is it even expected 
) to run under another. Many factors such as forgien file systems, os 
dependant hardware/memory restrictions, etc are the cause for this. The only 
solution I can think of is writing code with an OS independant language ( ie 
java ), else good luck.
