Features Specification
Cost Savings Companies can realize a savings by use of the
libraries rather than re-writing software
Investment Protection Where SCO Unix binary applications have been in
use and a transition to Linux is accomplished, the
same applications can be used on the new platform.
Description
===========
Caldera, Inc. was founded in 1994. In 1998, Caldera Systems, Inc. was
created to develop Linux business solutions. In 2001, Caldera Systems, Inc.
acquired the assets of the Server Software Division and Professional
Services Division of The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. (SCO), forming a new
company, Caldera International, Inc. In 2002, Caldera changed its name to
The SCO Group (Nasdaq: SCOX).
SCO System V for Linux is a license to use SCO UNIX shared libraries on
Linux. The combination of SCO libraries plus the Linux ABI allows most SCO
UNIX binary applications to run on Linux. Release 1 provides the SCO
OpenServer COFF static shared libraries. SCO System V for Linux is
distributed through SCO's resellers. (Not available for download).
Features
========
SCO System V for Linux has the following features:
The SCO OpenServer COFF static shared libraries allows most SCO
UNIX binary applications to run on Linux.
Support for SCO System V for Linux is available by calling the
SCO support office for your region.
The shared libraries that are most often used include those from
UNIX SVR3 through UNIX SVR5, which are included in this release.
The libraries legitimately allow companies to use these
libraries without having to purchase the entire UnixWare or OpenServer
operating system.
Registered users of SCO Linux 4.0 can obtain the libraries
without charge for use on their SCO Linux systems via the SCO Linux
Update Service
Using the libraries is considerably cheaper than re-writing
applications to run without them. Companies that use SCO Unix binary
applications in a Linux environment can realize considerable savings by
purchasing the libraries rather than changing applications or creating
custom software.
