Date: 8 Mar 1994 19:23:48 -0600 Organization: UTexas Mail-to-News Gateway Lines: 17 Sender: daemon@cs.utexas.edu Message-ID: <9403090223.AA18699@pedi> NNTP-Posting-Host: cs.utexas.edu Hello Netters: Can commercial programs (like Word Perfect 5.1 and dbman) which run on SCO Unix, run under Linux or 386BSD versions of UNIX? (If the original binaries are copied to a Linux (or BSD) system, will they execute?) If the short answer is no, why not? Are commerical vendors of software beginning to make versions of their software available for Linux/386BSD ? If not, what are they waiting for? Please reply to email: ron@pedi.ama.ttu.edu Thanks. Regards, Ron Jones
