| We wanted to the very same thing. Our 6.0 SCO system and new server are
| right there. We've x'ferred the data (but I mean just simple ftp the data,
| you don't need to use filePro xfer... unless it *is* your way of moving the
| files...)

You used ftp to tramsfer the /appl/hierarchy?  Wouldn't it have been
simpler to use rdist, let alone rsync if you had it?  At the very least,
you would have preserved original permissions.

| Anyway, we are waiting on a driver for a muli-modem board... but I'm
| actually glad we have just been testing so far... since the SYSTEM problem
| Ken mentioned a while back is there ever-looming as a huge hangup. (SYSTEM
| calls to the shell are calling .../*95*/something/shell  instead of just
| plain /bin/sh... and if you *need* regular /bin/sh, you are getting a
| kornish shell... which may/will break your scripts.)

What constructions are you using in Bourne scripts that break under
Korn? 

If the shell scripts start with #!/bin/sh, do OSR5 filePro binaries
*still* run them using /u95/bin/sh instead of /bin/sh?
