Welcome to the SCO Skunkware emulators. This category contains software which emulates other operating platforms, thus allowing the end-user to run binary applications intended for that platform. For instance, one of the packages contained herein allows users of SCO OpenServer or SCO UnixWare systems to run binary applications intended for use on Linux systems.

Package List

Lxrun - Linux Emulator

Lxrun is a Linux emulator for SCO OpenServer and SCO UnixWare platforms which understands Intel Linux a.out and ELF format binaries. To run most Linux programs, lxrun requires the help of the Linux dynamic loader (ld.so) and whatever Linux shared libraries are required by the program.

For more information on lxrun, visit the lxrun home page link below or read the lxrun FAQ.

VT102 terminal emulator

rxvt - version 2.4.5 - is a color vt102 terminal emulator intended as an xterm(1) replacement for users who do not require features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style configurability. As a result, rxvt uses much less swap space - a significant advantage on a machine serving many X sessions.

In order to update the utmp entry, the rxvt binary needs to have write permission on /etc/utmp. In order to accomplish this, it can be installed "setuid root". On some platforms, it is sufficient to install it "setgid adm".
