Good Morning,

	It has recently been put upon me to write some programs to interface
with a database system.  Unfortunately, The API and libraries are not
available for FreeBSD or BSDI.  However, they are available for Sco.  So
my big question is this:  is it possible to link to an emulated library
from a native executable?  Can I use the SCO api to write *BSD programs?
I know, it's a strange and kludgy way of doing things, but I'm running
out of Ideas.  Any information anyone can provide would be _greatly_
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jay Kuri
