I can compile for Solaris 1.x and 2.x.

And no dld for obvious reasons.

I can do Linux, both a.out and ELF versions.

I can also get an SCO out now... but I think we have 2 others
for SCO already. BTW, are SCO, and SCO Desktop, and OpenDesktop
3 different products?

I can provide SunOS 4.1.4

I'm not sure what Desktop is, but SCO Unix and SCO Open Desktop (all flavours)
are essentially the same thing. However, there appear to be some old versions
out there. I've never heard of anyone running them. And, of course, there's the
new version, Release 5, which I have, but am not running. The relevant command
on SCO is uname -X, which produces something horrid like this:

System = gonzo
Node = gonzo
Release = 3.2v4.2
KernelID = 94/02/14
Machine = Pentium
BusType = ISA
Serial = FRO1234567
Users = 16-user
OEM# = 0
Origin# = 1
NumCPU = 1

The interesting part being "Release".

BTW, the system which produced this output is sold as "SCO Open Server
Enterprise Edition 3.0" (did I forget to mention that Open Server is also the
same as Open Desktop?). Note the correlation between the name and the release
number (shurely some mishtake? - Ed).

Geeesh! I have this version on a CD somewhere.... I've had the same
CD for the past 2 years... they never upgraded to anything else?
What's all the hopla then?

Hmm... too bad I don't have the activation key. :) Ever try demo as the
serial, and demo001 as the activation key? Works wonders.

Its even older than that. SCO have this neat system. First you get a
5-year-out-of-date system, then you download 50 MB of patches over the
Internet, then you copy each patch to a floppy, then you install it. If you
can figure out which patches you need, that is. I'm not kidding. BTW, the docs
should probably note that patch NET382e is a very fine idea for SCO systems.
The original TCP/IP is more than a little broken. Still doesn't support IP
aliases, tho.

I took the precaution of changing the number ;-)

Nope, but I will!

I noticed.

Actually I was kidding.. it reduces the #of users of your system to
2, and the system will not bootup after 90 days.... and I think it deletes
the library files as well... so you can only mount the drive, not boot off
of it.
