Message-ID: <1994Mar10.062101.23875@news.csuohio.edu> Sender: news@news.csuohio.edu (USENET News System) Organization: Cleveland State University X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL5 References: <2llhqt$15a@explorer.clark.net> Date: Thu, 10 Mar 1994 06:21:01 GMT Lines: 35 [deleted] : : Huh? : : In the same Motif announcement, *BSD support (sans 386) was also put forth: I said two versions since there was/is a guy in Italy who was selling motif 1.1 for the *BSD's from almost a year or more ago.

I've never heard of it; what is it? : It's the Intel Binary Compatibility Standard version 2 or somesuch. (I kind of thought that I spelled it wrong.) Intel will provide you with a nice couple hundred page softbound copy of it for $25-$35.00. I very, very, briefly looked at a copy of it at a technical bookstore. (I only had $5-$10.00 on me at the time ;)) Anyway, it documents the file format and library call support to run SVID type unix programs on X86 processors. The bottom line, being able to run the same SCO Wordperfect binary on SCO, ISC, Unixware (<- tm.'s) and sooner or later Linux. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- stever@babbage.cba.csuohio.edu "When all was said and done, more was said than done." ---? --------------------------------------------------------------------------
