Hello,

A couple of years ago I posted a message on the forums, regarding 
getting FoxPro (for SCO Unix) working on FreeBSD. The direct link to the 
forum is here:
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=19764

 From version 2.2.8 to 7.4 of FreeBSD this has worked flawlessly, but 
ceased to run with version 8.1.

I would really love for this to continue working with future versions 
but have not found anyone that can help. A few days ago I received a 
private message on the forum requesting that I please post to hackers@ 
to see if anyone could help. The idea being that "Its unlikely the SCO 
binaries get tested very regularly."

So here I am.  In case anyone wants to test the FoxPro for FreeBSD, you 
can download my Perl script that installs it from here: 
http://www.at-vantage.com/foxfiles/foxp_install.txt

(rename the foxp_install.txt to foxp_install.pl).
This checks for i386, FreeBSD version before installing so if you plan 
on testing it on 8.1 or above, you may need to modify the script and 
comment out the sections that check for that.

I do hope that someone can help, it would be great if the SCO binary for 
FoxPro would function again.

Thanks.
