Nirvana Support Evaluation

Dependencies

NFit cannot run without Minuit: direct dependency

Histo-Scope has capability of browsing HBOOK files

Can run without HBOOK

Users prob. won't use HBOOK unless already using CERN library

All Nirvana products require X-Windows and Motif libraries

Statically linked into the products (so users don't need to have)

Nirvana products currently run ONLY on Unix systems

Very difficult to port to Windows-NT or Windows95

Unix systems supported: Linux, SGI, IBM, DEC, Sun

Histo-Scope API ported to VxWorks

No HP support because of their implementation of XDR
