    SCO version 6.0 screen image on installation is compressed

    When installing SCO version 6.0 on a Dell Vostro 260 machine with 4 GB RAM, the screen image is presented in a compressed format (it is confined to the top 1/3 of the monitor), and while it is legible, it is obviously corrupt and not useable. I'm thinking it's a driver issue with the video...

    Cannot print 132 columns using Generic Text printer

    I have several reports which are created under Unix (simple character mode print) that are passed using the Unix 'lpd' spooler to a remote Windows XP network PC for printing. I also have a Windows LPD spool utility which runs on the XP. The reports use the full 132 column format, the printer is...

    perl server output to client

    I'm new to Perl and have a simple server running under SCO 5.0.5. All this server does is wait for a client to connect and then sends a short text message back to the client. As long as I only send a brief 'hard-coded' message back to the client, everything works as expected. My question...

    Cannot link after installing Adaptec driver !

    I have a 5.0.5 site running an Adaptec 2940u2w controller ('blad' driver). The site rep attempted to install a tape drive on that controller, but the controller would not recognize it. So, he plugged in another SCSI controller (Adaptec 2940U, 'alad' driver) and attached the tape to it. Well...

    Which protocol is better?

    Given the following scenario, which VPN protocol would best fit the situation? I have a Local Unix and a Remote Unix server which perform un-attended file transfers between each other during the evening. On the Local side, I also have PC's that connect to the Remote as terminal emulators just...

    No video signal - how 'bout you?

    I have a dell 1600SC poweredge that absolutely refuses to emit a video signal. I have tried using the integrated video port; I have added a PCI video card (very basic Diamond 3D 2000); have swapped out the motherboard with another motherboard that I know works. Nothing seems to trip this...

    VPN tunnel won't see SCO

    Ok, I've read all the previous threads, searched in vain for a solution, and still can't get my SCO box to respond to a ping thru a VPN tunnel. Here's the particulars: Router is a Netgear FVS318 Local VPN Router: 192.168.0.1 (on a static ip) Remote Client: 192.168.1.95 Once the tunnel...

    6.0 installation fails

    I'm trying to install the 6.0 evaluation version and can't seem to get past 'go'. After booting from the CD and answering all the pertinent configuration questions (system name, locale, network info, type of NIC, type of mouse, etc.), and having selected to use the 'entire disk for UNIX', it...

    Getting error '2427' - expression has no value

    Ok, I have the below code in a simple report and continue to receive this error message when I try to run it. The field it is referring to -'WAIVE_PFEES'- is a logical record field, thus I would assume it to have a resulting value of 'true' or 'false' no matter what. Text113 is a text object...

    PCI CARDS for PCI-X SLOTS

    If PCI-X is both hardware and software compatible with PCI, is there any kind of adapter to permit usage of old PCI cards in the PCI-X slot? Just a simple query. I have lots of customers asking me, and to be honest, I haven't got a clue. Thanks piperent

    Support for older binaries

    What is the latest version of SCO that still supports the older style 'COFF' and 'A.OUT' binaries? I think I've seen where SCO is dropping support for those and phasing them out of the OS. Maybe they have already done so with 6.0. I have several clients who are currently under 5.0.6, still...

    Is it possible to setup a relationship between two (2) files that shares a common field? vehicle.vin (1) -------> (many) sales.vin vehicle.vin (1) -------> (many) sales.tradevin Obviously 'vehicle.vin' is the common field. In the first instance it points to all sales for a particular...

    Report won't print on legal size paper.

    I have a report that fits on pre-printed forms that are on legal size paper. I configured my form layout to match the paper, got everything to line up as best I can, and 'boop', it prints the first 12 inches just fine, then slews two (2) pages before printing the final 3 or so lines. What do...

    Adding a dynamic image to a form.

    Is it possible? I have a table of vehicles. For each vehicle, there is a field (cell) which holds the 'folder\image-name.jpg' (e:\shared\anyvehicle.jpg) for that vehicle's picture. Is there a way to pick up that image and display it on a form? I know PHP does this with the help of a browser...

    How can I update table data in a report?

    Here's another simple, but I'm sure not unique question. I now have a unique 'Invoice' number that is generated from a 'report' itself. The report consists of information from two tables (one to many relationship) with one customer being associated with many transactions. It's a simple...

    How to add an incrementing number to a report

    What is the simplest method of adding an auto-incrementing number to a report. I need an invoice number to print on a report and can't seem to find a means of adding it to a report page, updating it by 1, then adding it to the next page. This has to be a trivial little bit of code, but I've...

I have no problem connecting any PC to the Unix Server, but cannot get ANY of the HPJetDirects to be...

    Confused on mysql_query

    I execute a mysql_query searching for a 'specific' record. The record is not found (I purposely choose an invalid ID) yet the query returns a result. What does this result point to, and why is there any result returned? ex: $custid = '250'; $sql_select = "select * from cust_detail where...
