[*Newsletter*] SCO UNIX and Filepro 4.05

[Chris Rendall]

I started running our Linux filePro system on VMware back in to 2007 so I didn't have to worry about hardware issues.  

Our PFCMARK is set to 80.  Anywhere I need dates before 1980 I modified the fields to have four digit years.

Good morning,

 

This is my every few years dilemma. Long story short.Due to possible lack of support for SCO UNIX on newer hardware, Y2K patches in older software (filepro and RealWorld), much more and, etc., etc. I have been recommending that we move off to a modern system. However, things "currently work" so that does not provide an "impending event".  FIlepro upgrade is not up for consideration.

 

I am looking to see if anyone knows enough about the filepro Y2K "patch"
that can tell me how long we can expect filepro to work properly. I.e.
PFCMARK is currently set to 25. Is there a max number that this can be set to? Any other issues anyone is aware of? 

 

RealWorld Version 8 is another issue, but I assume this won't be discussed here. That said if anyone has comments about this, feel free to respond privately.

 

Thanks for any help.

 

Regards
