I am using SCO Xenix for the 80286 processor. The version is 2.3.2. I do not have the Development System and will not purchase it because of the very low budget I am on. I have anonymous ftp access. It appears to me that unix.oakland only has SCO Xenix/386 binaries of GCC. So my questions are: 1) Does anyone know where I can get GCC binaries (via ftp) for SCO Xenix/286 version 2.3.2 ?? or 2) Can I use the 386 binaries from unix.oakland on my SCO Xenix/286 2.3.2 machine ?? (I think not..) == Thanks in Advance ==

Even if they did, the response to your first question throws cold water on the idea. It would be possible to write a GCC definition for the '286, but one does not exist now.
