Binand. Though the rpm says kernel-ibcs, there is no kernel in that rpm. It just
contains some devices in /dev and some documentation in /usr/doc. Nothing is clear
from the documentation on what this rpm file is for ? :-)
I have used suse ibcs.rpm and everything is working fine now. We were here able to run
our Integra RDBMS from SCO on Linux using this ibcs module. We were also able to
compile basic and cobol programs from SCO using the compilers from SCO ( However for
this we had to copy directly some libraries from SCO /etc to Linux. ). Integra worked
directly. Some tweaking in termcap and LANG env. variable.
