I remember that in the past it was possible to run sco binary a.out on linux
( linux-abi?).

It is possible today?

Thanks

We have a few places doing this on SuSE 9.0 Pro which is the most
recent version of Linux that I have successfully used. We are
generally running these system in VMware virtual machines on
CentOS 5 Linux hosts (as are our remaining OpenServer systems).

In general, I think it probably makes more sense to run the SCO
system in a virtual machine under Linux. Given the speed of
current hardware, the OpenServer VMs we're running are faster
than they were running on the hardware they were running on
before moving to VMs.
