Sage advice. I shall follow the Path.
But believe it or not, I actually do have a program that
runs SCO style code. It's a small program that takes data in binary
format from a Campbell Scientific datalogger and translates it to
ASCII in real time. I used it in Debian 1.3 and RedHat 3 But I'm
not using it now, so I guess the SCO emulation can go away for a
while.
The program was really interesting, it was written back
in the days when Novell still had a hand in SCO unix and it required
having an N drive(!!!). I tried to tweak the source to remove this
and make it default to a directory in the user's home, but it was too
difficult - I'd almost have to rewrite the code. What I did was create
a /N directory and symlink it back to the user's data directory. Ah,
linux. Could never do something so simple in Windoze...especially
WFW 3.11 back in the "good old days".
