Run Time System 2XCGG/ZZ0/00000G We've been running MF Cobol apps on 2.2.* machines for about two years now (ever since 2.2.0-ALPHA). It runs rings around our SCO box, which now sits idle cause noone will use it :) I had to do the following to get it running on BSD: create /compat/ibcs2/dev/X0R, dev/nfsd and dev/socksys, all symlinked to /dev/null. copy SCO's /etc/default/lang to /compat/ibcs2/etc/default/lang copy SCO's /usr/lib/lang to /compat/ibcs2/usr/lib/lang copy SCO's /usr/lib/terminfo to /compat/ibcs2/usr/lib/terminfo And that was it. If you're planning on running over NFS, I have a kernel patch to the IBCS pathconf() that keeps MFCobol from truncating filenames over NFS to 13 characters. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
