Sco binaries on opensuse 11.0

I've got my sco coff files to run on opensuse 11.0 using ibcs-3.7

Yehaw!!

Any notes or comments?, I'm looking to move SCO foxbase to dosemu+Linux, but maybe this is a better path...

Give it a try its working well. My coff binaries run as is.

Had a hiccup with memory allocation.

# sysctl -w vm.legacy_va_layout=1

resolves the problem.

It seems that the 2.6 kernels allocate memory slightly differently.

The above command forces legacy memory allocation.

I've added the following to the end of the /etc/sysctl.conf file..

vm.legacy_va_layout = 1
kernel.msgmni = 1024
kernel.msgmnb = 163840
kernel.msgmax = 40960
