HP-UX and AIX are different and therefore certain references to the underlying kernal functions will act differntly as well. Someone already mentioned the issue of TIME() which also impacts things like SLEEP and RQM and NAP. I'd also wonder about port-specific usage. I believe I worked on a Unix box a while back where they mapped the ports so that every time a person logged in they got the same port number. Don't ask me exactly how they did this. However another box I worked on, I was told they could not do this. So either it was Unix's fault, or the people weren't as savvy but either way, it did impact programs that relied on the ability to be port-specific. I'd also just do a quick test of the math functions. I'm not sure every system does the trigonometric, and extended math functions the same way. Early on I ran into an issue where an old box gave the same result for two very close but not idential numbers when you did a tangent on them. I had to roll my own 'fix' for that. Just a few notes.
