I have been looking into running the Progress 4GL-RDBMS under the iBCS2
emulator that comes with FreeBSD, and it seems to work. All I had to do is
enable the emulation and the SysV IPC stuff in the kernel and put the SCO
/shlib shared libraries in /compat/ibcs2/shlib.
Progress is a _big_ application that thoroughly stresses the OS/emulation. If
that runs I suspect many others will do as well.
Hope this helps,
Jos
