COFF binaries ? No response within a couple of days... so allow me a shameless plug: I think you can do it with FreeBSD. Its SCO COFF binary emulation is good enough to even run larger database programs these days, and AFAIK the only thing that's still not working right is one of the network license managers. Regarding extensive use of SYSVIPC, you gotta reconfigure a kernel with non-default values, i'd assume. I've never been using it much myself. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
