Hello
I am an SCO Xenix user, and am experimenting with Linux for the first =
time, in an effort to see if I can run my Xenix binaries, written in =
compiled basic, and other Xenix software, on Rad Hat. I've brought a =
few simple programs over, the tar command had no trouble reading my =
Xenix disks, but I get an error, "Cannot execute binary" or something =
like that, every time I try to run something.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thank you
Harry Fine
