And since the OP said "COFF", he's in one of two situations:

1) Has a SCO licence, and isn't willing to pay fpTech's (IMO) exorbitant
rates for a cross-OS license swap, which they've tried to justify to me
several times, with no success, or...

2) He's running MenuMaster/Maestro/Eze, which isn't available for anything
newer than SCO V, and LinuxABI (which would run it on 2.4 kernels) is dead.
