I had SCO's FoxPro 2.6 running on as early as version 2.2.7. at that time it was a bitch, but since about 4.0 came out, it's been easier and easier. I have now been running SCO's FoxPro 2.6 on FreeBSD 4.0 - 4.9 without problems. All you have to do to turn on SCO's compatibility is to include the line ibcs2_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf line and either reboot, or type: kldload ibcs2.ko kldload ibcs2_coff.ko Lance At 05:41 PM 1/6/2004, you wrote: >What versions of FreeBSD have the SCO binary compatibility built into the >kernel and install by default?
