Thanks very much, Dan and Ron!

Finally, I resolved the bbx2 problem for SCO Unix 5.x! The point was
legacy systems in bbx2 (especially those ones developed for XENIX) are
able to run on SCO Unix 5.0.4, but not in an higher SCO 5.x. Bbx2
could run smoothly on an SCO 5.0.5 (or higher), if and only if you
solve this problem:

TA # 112204:

"Problem: The binaries ran fine on previous versions of SCO
OpenServer, but they core dump on SCO OpenServer 5.0.5, 5.0.6. They
may contain sleep(S) system calls. If I remove the sleep(S) calls,
they seem to run fine.
The OpenServer 5.0.5, 5.0.6 versions of x286emul and i286emul respond
to signals differently than previous versions and may cause adverse
behavior such as core dumps."

"Solution: Replace the 5.0.5 or 5.0.6 versions of i286emul and
x286emul with those found in the SCO OpenServer 5.0.4 or 5.0.2
releases.
The binaries are located in: 


      /opt/K/SCO/Unix/5.0.5Eb/bin/

The files should have these permissions: 

      -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     sys        23504 Oct 22 09:28
/bin/i286emul@

      -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     sys        39616 Oct 22 09:16
/bin/x286emul@"


Really, I did appreciate very much your help.

Jorge

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
