Hi, sometime ago, someone posted the email address of a person
at WordPerfect Corp. who would handle upgrades from the DOS version
of WP to the SCO/iBCS version.
I've got 5.1 for DOS, I'd like to upgrade to 6.0 for unix.
I heard this was around $129?

I keep seeing loose references to Linux being able to run
SCO binaries, but I haven't seen a definative statement that it will.
The fact that the above question was posted to this group makes me think
that Wordperfect for SCO will run on Linux. Will it?
Does linux support SCO binaries?
I can't believe this one isn't in the FAQs. I figured it would
be a common question.

Yes. Get the iBCS emulator module from tsx-11.mit.edu:pub/linux/ALPHA/ibcs2
