The Commerce Server (ver 1.12) CD has the install trees for *all* the supported unixes on it. There is a BSDI install tree on it, no FreeBSD. The BSDI version would probably run under FreeBSD (and perhaps Linux with iBCS installed), no? Of course, I'd never install those versions in violation of my license agreement :-), since my webserver is an HP9000/E45 and I just got a new HP9000/D250 with the PS-RISC7200 chip (@ 101 MHz) today to play with (I dunno if the compiled-for-hpux 9.xx executables will run under hp-ux 10.x). -- ===================================================================== = Neal Howard neal@metronet.com '91 XLH-1200 DoD #686 AMA NRA = = "Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair.
