I have a client who want to replace his old version of SCO Xenix with
FreeBSD. The only application he uses is an old version of SCO
Foxbase. The Foxbase program appears to be a very old Xenix 286
binary. The SCO emulator in FreeBSD 2.0.5 can't make any sense of it.

 Is there something that will run this ancient piece of code? And no
he doesnt want to upgrade the FoxBase.

TIA
