Application compatibility exceptions

The following is a list of general compatibility exceptions:

• Drivers (binaries) installed by applications will not work.

• Specific OpenServer system calls are not supported, such as: security & SUDS (aio, sem, latch, timers). However, most applications try using alternatives if such calls are not available.

• Applications packaged in custom+/SSOs format will not run.

• SCO OpenServer terminfo files are not provided, but can be easily brought forward from /usr/lib/terminfo on SCO OpenServer.

For shell scripts and commands, see for lists of the SCO OpenServer commands provided with UnixWare, and command equivalents for those SCO OpenServer commands that are not provided with UnixWare.

For binaries, differences in interfaces that could not be taken care of either in the kernel, native libraries, or ported /OpenServer libraries are listed in the compatibility tables for the appropriate library or system call. See ``Base kernel compatibility'' and ``API compatibility''.
