- My company department has a problem. We are currently running an
- internal software package that was designed to run under "MS Windows 2.1".
- The computers that we are running this on are 386 clones running
- SCO Unix v3.2 and the VPIX (DOS emulator).
-
- The problem is, the department in charge of the internal software
- package is releasing a new version of it and is not going to support the
- old one any more. :-( The new version will only run on "MS Windows 3.1"
- which does not work under VPIX. Open Desk Top (ODT) does supply a DOS
- shell but the price at this time of ODT is prohibitively high for my
- department.
-
- Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get around this
- dilemma? One idea we had was to reformat the hard disk and to set up one
- partition for DOS and another for UNIX. But, we don't know if it is
- possible to switch between the two operating systems. Another idea would
- be to find some other company that supplies DOS shell software, like
- ODT's version, as a separate software package that can be bought for a
- little amount of money.
-
- Information:
- Zenith 386
- SCO UNIX v3.2
- VPIX v1.1 (DOS emulation package)
- 8M bytes RAM
- 150M Hard Drive
- VGA graphics card
- Shades of grey VGA monitor
