I obtained the OpenClient for SCO with the hopes that the ibcs2 stuff would let me run it...but, alas, no such luck. Even the installer wouldn't run...I installed SCO and then OC...then built a statically linked perl5 w/ sybperl and tried to run it...it runs, but can never get to the network... I've got other SCO things runnning, and I have all the /compat stuff in place (I think)... Has anyone ever tried such a thing? How about the Linux OpenClient (which is free) I couldn't get anything to build with it under FreeBSD and haven't had access to a Linux machine long enough to try the 'build a perl there' trick... -- John Soward <a href="http://neworder.cc.uky.edu/">JpS</a> Sr. Systems Programmer 'The Midnight sun will burn you up.'
