Subject: SCO binary compatibility?
Date: Fri, 26 Apr 1996 11:27:50 +0900
From: Toshihiro Kanda <candy@fct.kgc.co.jp>
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

 My `uname -srm' is "FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE i386".

  /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.ascii says "Binary compatibility
with many programs built for SCO,..."  But when I tried to run SCO
binary(file(1) tells it is an `80386 COFF executable'), FreeBSD run it
as a shell script.  So it failed by syntax error :-(

  Why can't I run the binary?  Any kernel options needed?

  Thanks.
