Re: [Linux-abi-devel] Help on documentation

[Robert W M. <RW...@sy...>]

Malcolm,

If you would like to add an informational item to your compatability list, 
here is my experience with Progress RDMS.

I use Progress RDMS V7.3 ported for SCO Unix.  Progress runs perfectly under 
the old iBCS.  Version 7 of Progress is text only.

Under the linux-abi shipped with RH7.0, Progress would not function 
correctly.  It was a failure.  Under the current linux-abi Progress V7.03 
runs fine with one exception.  The Progress statement, OUTPUT THROUGH, which 
is an interprocess call to the OS, fails.  There is a  bug report listed for 
this.  The Progress statements, OUTPUT TO and UNIX can be combined to provide 
a workaround in most instances.

Cheers,
Robert

P.S.  I find that there is suprisingly little traffic on this list.  Maybe 
linux-abi is getting less use than I would have imagined.  Or else it is 
getting a tremendous amount of use with very few problems.  I certainly am 
grateful that Martin and you and the others have picked up where Mike Jagis 
left off.
