Some folks in another department are running a system with ISC 2.0.2,
and posed this question to me:
Will SCO Professional Release 2 run under ISC 2.0.2? Anybody
tried it, or know someone who has?
They'd like to know, before they plop down the money for it.
Thanks.....

I have brought SCO Professional up on several clients systems running ISC 2.02. It works very well and comes complete with X11 support. The only consideration you should take into account is terminal/printer support. Since SCO Professional uses its own termcap base, these considerations become very important. [ You really want 25 line capable terminals if you intend to use existing lotus 123 files. ] As a last caution, be sure you get and install the X4 ISC update after installing SCO Professional.

Anybody In the release notes for ISC 2.2, it is implied that SCO Professional works, because they provide a bug workaround when using SCO Pro on an xt-layers type of terminal (AT&T 630, 5620). As for whether it really works, I can't say. Although ISC probably doesn't want to be in the software warrantee business, it would be nice if in addition to the 62 pages of HW compat and config information, there was a section for SW compat. Even though systems are 'sposed to be binary compatible, people sometimes need reassurance (me included!). For the popular apps, they could make four lists: don't know, doesn't work, seems to work, and it works (but don't blame us if it doesn't). -Rick -- Rick Richardson | Looking for FAX software for UNIX/386 ???
