Ok .. Now that I was about to upgrade to SCO 6 I see this ..

What conserns should I have (if any) of upgrading my system
from 5.0.7 to 6.  Will Filepro / VSIFAX / BARPRO+ binaries from
5.0.7 run ok on 6 ?

>From another thread I see the System command was mentioned. 
We used quite a bit in our processing to call "sh" scripts/commands.
Will I need modify script find (More then just the #!/bin/sh line) ?

Thanks as always ..
