---- Okay...so I want to try out this much vaunted binary compatability. I have (legal and everything) the Document Processing distribution for Microport SysV/386. Since SCO-ODT didn't come with this, I figured I'd just load up these binaries and everything would be rockin'. Now...could someone fill me in on what the format of the microport distribution disks are (how are the archives laid out, etc.)? Thanks... -- ken seefried iii "A sneer, a snarl, a whip that ken@dali.gatech.edu stings...these are a few of my favorite things..."

I tried what you're talking about and it seemed to work fine - as far as I checked it out (not very far). I'm running release 4 now, so I can't tell you any more about it. There might be an installation shell script on the disk which would be a help. Richard Ducoty
