I don't know about Webspeed and I doubt whether version 8.x will run (it's
meant to run on SCO version 5, and SCO added some additional APIs (thanks,
guys) after 3.2v4.2), but just a few days ago I tried running version 7.3C13
for SCO on 2.2-stable after copying the SCO 3.2v4.2 /shlib files into
/compat/ibcs2/shlib, and it Just Worked, both single-user and the
broker/self-service-client setup.
Make sure you enable iBCS/2 and SysV IPC support in the kernel and it should
work.
And do keep us posted :-)
Groetjes,
Jos
