Greetings O wizardly ones; I recall some time ago, a discussion about BSD/OS compatability, and recent problems with same. I'm currently mentoring a BBS sysadmin, who is keen to use FreeBSD in conjunction with his current Galacticomm BBS system. He is also aware that Gcomm have a BSD/OS version of the BBS, and wants to know if it's possible to run this under FBSD. Gcomm's BSD/OS version is for 1.1, and AFAIK 1.1 executables run fine under FreeBSD, but naturally it'd be nice to be _sure_ before recommending he go & spend that sort of money. (He was also interested to know whether it would be feasible to port the BBS to FreeBSD. Apparently it's written for BC++ using a proprietary kernel, but most/all of the source is available. If someone with c++ and DOS->unix migration experience is looking for a project that would be a great feather in the FreeBSD cap, this sure qualifies. Source seems to be availble, contact me & I'll pass you on if you're interested.) -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" - Terry Lambert [[
