The systems I am trying to obtain data from are running SCO Unix (I know, old and out of date) without the SCO C compiler. Would I get lucky enough to find SCO binaries for your utility? I have noticed that it is very hard to find utility binaries for SCO any more. I don't have the option of changing operating systems or I would. Chester
