I don't know about Webspeed and I doubt whether version 8.x will run (it's meant to run on SCO version 5, and SCO added some additional APIs (thanks, guys) after 3.2v4.2), but just a few days ago I tried running version 7.3C13 for SCO on 2.2-stable after copying the SCO 3.2v4.2 /shlib files into /compat/ibcs2/shlib, and it Just Worked, both single-user and the broker/self-service-client setup. Make sure you enable iBCS/2 and SysV IPC support in the kernel and it should work. And do keep us posted :-) Groetjes, Jos -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ CIM-ISGA/IS _/ _/ _/ Oce-Technologies B.V. _/ _/_/_/ Venlo, The Netherlands _/ _/ _/ _/ jos@oce.nl _/_/ _/_/_/ #include
