Anyone try either version? I have a follow-up question: Would it perhaps be possible to run the dynamically linked UnixWare version of WP 6.0 with Linux ELF libraries? I don't know much about ELF but I suspect it might be possible? Oliver Mai

There is a set of shared libraries that can be found in the same location as the iBCS2 stuff which can be used to run SBr4 binaries under linux. -Eric -- "The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

I have found that not all programs will run with these shared libraries. Just for a laugh(!) I attempted to install Svr4 Informix-SE on Linux. It works fine but only if you use the shared libraries that are shipped with UnixWare -- not entirely legal I suspect! patrick
