I'm positive, few MS-DOS programs won't run on FreeBSD, probably some Mac OS 7 - 9 programs either. I'm doing nms development on unix (spec. BSD) for a very long while, didn't use it to test if MS Office will run. Now the missing facts: 4.x binaries will not run on 5.0, lib.c inconsistency. Identical XFree86 sources compiled nativly on 4.6, 4.7 and 5.0. 4.6-4.7: no problem 5.0: logout from X blocks the graphic card, Matrox MGA 400 and also Nvidia GeForce2 MX200 I doubt, that something else than OS related issues are the cause. Switched back to 4.7 , will try again 5.0 in few weeks. Thanks, -Horen > > > > > > I even installed Linux RedHat 8.0 ( gcc 3.2x ) code.
