There was some talk about this a few months ago; check the list archives. The basic gist was that no, there wasn't a way, since the documents describing the SCO filesystems were never released to the public. However, there was some talk about Caldera (the proud owners of SCO) releasing said documents, so work could potentially start on this. There are some other approaches that may be more feasible for you: 1) back up the data onto tape and restore under FreeBSD 2) run the FreeBSD and SCO machines side-by-side and use FTP, NFS or SCO VisionFS/AFPS (they implement the SMB protocol) to copy the data over -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
