While I will be among the first to say that FreeBSD is often used in this capacity (serving as a base for a commercial product), it would be - in my opinion - a far better use of money to pay a developer to write a FreeBSD application that would run on FreeBSD 8 and duplicate whatever functionality that this antique SCO program is doing. FreeNSD 4.X runs great under VirtualBox and that is probably what the OP should be doing. I also happen to have a FreeBSD 8 system that has a VirtualBox session running FreeBSD 4 that an older program is running in. Ted On 7/22/2011 9:31 AM, Julian H.
