Hi Folks

I was under the impression that Linux could run SCO binaries out-of 
the box. However I've got some SCO binaries I'm trying to run and I
can't get 'em to go. The only mention I've found about SCO in the HOWTOs
was that Linux is (apparently) iBCS compatible.

Anyway here's what 'file' has to say about the binary:

> livid:/mnt/bin$ file creatdb 
> creatdb: 80386 COFF executable not stripped
> livid:/mnt/bin$ creatdb
> bash: ./creatdb: cannot execute binary file

'creatdb' is part of the UNIFY RDBMS package. The tape is really old
(we haven't upgraded this for a long time) but I think the executables
should still execute, even if they are covered in dust...

Any help would be much appreciated. I don't want them to take Linux
off me and replace it with SCO!!!

Mail replies would be appreciated, I'm going away for a week and 
postings might get expired before I get back. 

Regards
Mark
