FreeBSD's IBCS binary emulation is very good. This will run SCO 3.2v4.2-compiled programs. Programs built with SCO OSR5 are SVR4 ELF binaries, and our SVR4 emulation is nowhere near complete enough to run those binaries. The best solution is always to recompile the source for FreeBSD and run it as a native binary, but sometimes that's not possible. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
