I was rather unsuccessful and after a few hours of pounding I gave up. I've heard that it's possible and that some people have gotten it running but you couldn't tell it by me. Have you looked at PostgreSQL or mySQL. I use both of those quite successfully! If you need a commercial solution, Raima (http://www.raima.com) ports their Velocis database to virtually every platform imaginable. It's a very full featured product that's also very fast and scalable. Solid (http://www.solidtech.com) also has a beta version of an SQL database server that has an ODBC SQL C API. ( as does Velocis) I've been playing with that lately and it also seems very stable and fast. IMHO with these options, I personally see no need to horse around with the SCO emulation :-). --- Randall D DuCharme Systems Engineer Novell, Microsoft, and UNIX Networking Support Computer Specialists BSDI Internet Success Partners 414-253-9998 414-253-9919 (fax) BSD/OS Authorized Resellers
