It sounds as if the Apex environment is locked into a single host
environment. So if you go to source code that was set up with a
particular operating system, you cannot modify anything
with another environment (say Solaris versus AIX). This is
extremely contrary to portable Ada or Java development. In many
instances one set of code could work for many different
environments.

I know that with the version control systems such as RCS and CVS,
there is no OS dependence on checking files out.  You can
point at the code and do as you please.
