I figure the problem may be related to Linux lacking the necesary functionality to support files larger than 2GB which this SCO binary supports. I was thinking of trying freeBSD with its SCO emulation support but I am uncertain whether freeBSD supports files larger than 2GB on 32bit x86 platforms. Anybody know the answer to this question. Also if only a peticular version supports it, let me know so I can get the correct version. The program that I am trying to get to run under freeBSD or Linux is the Microfocus cobol runtime. Everything else in that COBOL development package works except the actual runtime, which just happens to support large files (> 2GB) for the COBOL databases. This is why I fugure its dying under Linux, so does freeBSD on 32bit x86 platforms support files > 2GB?
