Why is it difficult to port software designed for UNIX to Linux?
In general, no, it is not difficult at all. As long as you stick to the POSIX (and other open standards) and use a conformant compiler for the software there shouldn't be any problem in porting software. I do it all the time - from Linux to Unix, or Unix to Linux, makes no difference. In fact, a lot of common software is cognizant of the actual Operating System at compile time and will take care of the differences (if there are any).
What year was the UNIX software developed?
This was done over a several year period. Unix was released around 1969, but the development obviously occured before that.
