Yes, however...

1) You must have access to the SCO shlibs if you buy the most recent
   version of SCO Open Deathtrap er, Open Desktop.
2) You can buy a version statically linked for SCO 3.2.5, which works great.

I'm in the process of attempting to link my custom code against the the
Informix SCO libraries, but so far no luck. :(

But, using the generic Informix binaries it works well.
