I have a question about SCO 386 XENIX (latest version). Can it run 386 Unix executables (Interactive's for eg) without modification ?. i.e. whether it is binary compatible ? If so, what is the version number ? Thanks, / Kumar

I have 386 Xenix 2.3.1 running tcsh which was compiled under Interactive Unix 2.0.2 and everything works except for a strange wildcard expansion in filenames. This is no guarantee that anything else would work, but I think tcsh would cover a lot of the territory in question. -- -- Kevin Langston langston@convex.com -- This is not the 386---^^^^^^ -- langston@frontier.lonestar.org -- This one is the 386---^^^^^^^^

I have been told that they will in general run but "it depends" upon how well the program meets the UNIX program specs Specific programs were Fulcrum Technologies Fultext and Access Technologies 2020 (a spreadsheet ) Cliff
