Thanks FreeBSD's ibcs emulator was actually compatible with SCO 3.2v4.2, not OSR 5, and has since bit-rotted due to other kernel changes such that it no longer works. Since there is less than one request a year about SCO emulation, it's unlikely to get enough developer attention to ever get better :) I'm surprised there is any software only available for SCO anymore. If you can get your hands on a Linux binary, FreeBSD will run that just fine. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
