What I have been trying to do is to get filePro 4.1 SCO UNIX binaries running under FreeBSD 2.2.5 and have run into a minor "snag" which I am not sure is fixable or circumventable or not. The binaries used are SCO COFF format (result of a "file" on them shows "80386 COFF executable"). What happens when we run any of the "report" or "clerk" series of executables (both "d" and "r" series) what happens is filePro immediately comes up with the error: "Too Many Users" Which is the filePro error message that controls if the application has exceeded it's license limit. Obviously in this case, there are *no* other users running it so what causes it? All of the other utilities such as the dxmaint utility, the freechain utility and other appear to run just fine. When I queried Personix, I got the following response, which while not completely helpful is better than nothing (at least they replied). > If the following is not supported at this time filepro will not work > properly. Full support of shared memory and/or semaphores for SCO > binaries. We would have to modify the code. . I will check to see if > it is in the plans > Now what I did initially before I started was to: 1. Enabled the System V shared memory and Semaphores in the Kernel (SYSVSHM, SYSVSEM & SYSVMSG) 2. Enabled the IBCS2 option in /etc/rc.conf (ibcs2_enable) by setting it to "YES" (Yes I did remember to rebuild and install the Kernel as well :-) ..... and "No" I don't consider that a silly question!) Does anyone have any suggestions? Brendon (Brendon_Meyer@fmi.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
