Well, I can say that when I was doing some SCO development, I spent a few hours setting up a complete SCO development environment on my Linux box and was well rewarded for it. Even the total amount of time I spent was lower after the first few compiles; the SCO box with 16MB of RAM took 1.5 hours to compile what the Linux box with 8MB of RAM took 0.5 hours... And that was a full environment, not just a compiler and related toolkit. I ran it in two modes; a chrooted environment for ease of use some of the time, and with a modified PATH and a few judicious symlinks the rest of the time. The compiler and toolkit executables I used were SCO-native tools, not cross-compiler tools. In symlink/PATH mode, it would have been sufficient for Informix development as well as C development. I've since removed that environment because I don't need it any more (thank goodness...). michaelkjohnson
