> Is Roguewave an embedded API or a support program? 

IIRC, Roguewave is a set of C++ classes for containers like
lists, arrays, etc. I remember using it several years ago, also
on Solaris. I don't know if there is a Linux version. If porting
to a new (and free) set of classes, well that depends on a)
how extensive you use the non-standard classes and b) if
all the classes you use are available in your target setup.

So one of your first tasks should be to identify the Roguewave
classes you use and locate the equivalent on your target.
My (wild) guess is that a current C++ should place you in
a relatively painless situation. However, IIRC, Roguewave's
classes have unique naming (rw*?) so at minimum, you have
a lot of word replacing and research to assure the class
functionallity matches.  

If you didn't mention already, why are you moving away from
Solaris? To everyone else -- I am a big fan of BOTH Solaris and
Linux.
