FWIW, we (SRI) are currently to the stage where we are in the beginning stages of selling software that uses FreeBSD as the base OS. However, our software was developed on SCO boxes running SCO-Informix. Using the emulator in -current, we now have a complete running environment of our sofware w/out *any* SCO shlibs. It took alot of phone calls to Informix sales staff plus some calls to their technical staff, but we finally got a static version of Informix. SCO emulation on FreeBSD is a *huge* winner for us, as we couldn't go to market without it. > [insert picture of a sad eyed programmer sitting at a PC running SCO, > looking dolefully at the camera] Heck, we've got pictures of me staring sadly at a SCO box if you'd like to use them. *grin* Nate
