Just in case you hadn't heard about it, and just in case you might need it,
and just in case you want to try something that could be strange and
wonderful, or agonizingly painful...there is a way to (theoretically) run
your SCO apps on Linux.

   http://www.purplet.demon.co.uk/linux/ibcs/

The name of the package is "kernel-ibcs-2.2.14-5.0.i386.rpm" on RedHat
6.2 -- it contains some /dev files and documentation.

Of course, it would be much more desirable to get your data over to
native Linux apps, but if you need it...

p.s. Hopefully others on the list will chime in about iBCS -- does anybody
use it?  (Am I a dolt for even mentioning it? ;)
