Sorry, forgot to do that :-( I'm running 2.2.5-STABLE (made world on 7/11/97). Let me just hasten to add that I've got WP 6.0 on the machine, also running under SCO emulation, with no problems. >Have you tried changing the terminal emulation to vt100 ? Yes. And vt220. And SCO. And SCOANSI, and a host of others. I grep'd the whole CD for TERM entries, and tried most of those (roughly 30-40), and those didn't work either. Does anyone know what a valid SCO type is ? >BTW: I think there is a demo version, you should have tried that one >before buying the SCO version..I think the Linux version works. Well, strictly speaking, I didn't buy it. It's an evaluation copy that I got hold of for about $50, which I didn't think was too bad. If I get it working, I'll buy the whole darn thing. I'm willing to tar up the CD and dump it somewhere, if someone wants to take a look. This is not an open invitation to copy the darn thing. Serious offers only please. It's roughly 300M untarred, and I doubt I'll get good compression on it, due to the fact that the files are already compressed. Or I can dump it onto a 4mm DAT tape ? I'd also be willing to donate another copy to the FreeBSD team. If my memory serves me correctly, I sent Nate Williams a entire boxed set of version 6, so I'm not really scared to invest monetarily. Although it costs me roughly $100 in international shipping, it's worth it if it works :) --- Khetan Gajjar - whois kg1779 | khetan@iafrica.com or khetan@os.org.za http://chain.iafrica.com/~khetan | PGPKey : finger khetan@chain.iafrica.com UUNET Internet Africa Support | FreeBSD enthusiast-www2.za.freebsd.org Unix is user friendly; it's just selective about who it calls a friend!
