Hi there,

I'm trying to run SCO's MS-Word 5.0 for Unix (V/386 3.2) on Freebsd using
the IBCS2, and I'm getting the following error:

bash: ./word.pr: cannot execute binary file

I have run other system V based apps, like Word Perfect, etc.., without
problems. 
I notice a difference with I run "files" on the Word Perfect binary and
the Word binary:

Word results in:
[/usr/lib/word][fiscal]$ file word.pr
word.pr: Microsoft a.out separate pure segmented word-swapped V2.3 V3.0 386 smae

Whereas Word Perfect results in:
[/usr/lib/word][fiscal]$ file /usr/local/wp/wpbin/wp
/usr/local/wp/wpbin/wp: 80386 COFF executable

Is there any way I can get Word to run?

Drew
