In a method for converting a system call for an origin operating system
into a system call for a destination operating system, an emulation
routine is called. The emulation routine converts a reference structure
comprising a reference value and at least one referenced element by
converting at least the reference value, and it performs the system call
for the destination operating system This method makes it possible to run
application programs on a destination system without specific adaptation
or retranslation, and even when the original operating system has not been
ported to the destination system.
