I'd say anything with WIN in it would NOT run on *nix... That was exactly the OS dependent stuff I was relating to - you will have to rework your forms when these are included.
On Windows you would refer to the WIN_API calls, or OLE (standard package for 6i and 9.0.2.7 - nothing elder here, sorry). Even found a VBX reference...
