You should try to determine what the executable file format is. If SCO or Unixware modules will not run, then you are restricted to whatever source will compile with your existing compiler.
By your description, the OS sounds like an early version of Unixware (before Novell purchased it.) I attached a simple C program that converts lower case to uppercase.

Hi all,
I've got a question about an OS upgrade.
I'm planning to do a upgrade from AIX UNIX 4.3.2 to 4.3.3 in a few weeks.
I haven't got that much information.
Could someone give me some general tips or hints, things I should think of before? Things I should know, or general errors.

Hello. I have inherited a HP 9000 series E35 server that has stopped working. It is running HPUX (10.2-I think). The fault light is on (steady) on the front of the server and it will not boot. It only goes to a CM> prompt, which I have never seen before. Initial research through HP indicated a... (8 Replies)

Hi
My main problem is trying to reset the password on an ancient (but still live) server. I have booted from floppy into maintenance mode, but it won't allow me to mount /. I'm using mount -F vxfs /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 /mnt and I get an error message along the lines of "operation not applicable... (2 Replies)
Right now we are using HP-UX 11i
We are thinking of upgrading to 11i v3..
Questions:
Why would we want to upgrade? Benefits?
Do we need to install v2 and then v3 or can we just go straight to v3?
I see we can get the following:

We have 3 Unix servers all running SVR4 Unix 1.4. I have no problems copying files to and from 2 of the servers using either the rcp command or ftp but when i come to transfer large files to the third server the copy gives up part way through and crashes this server.

Hi, I have got java 1.4.1 in my unix server, i wish to upgrade it to 1.4.2 version. I know how to do that in Windows, but it is the first time i am doing it in UNIX. Please tell me how to do it from command line?
Are there any environment variable to be set in unix as in windows?

Hello to all UNIX experts! This is my problem: I have to emulate an old UNIX System 5 release 4 on a virtual machine. I've got 30 images (.IMA) of 1.4M floppy where there is the installation of SVR4. How I can install it with those files? I tried with Vmware 7 workstation but it says 'Operating... (6 Replies)

giftopnm(1) General Commands Manual giftopnm(1)NAME
giftopnm - convert a GIF file into a portable anymap
SYNOPSIS
giftopnm [--alphaout={alpha-filename,-}] [-verbose] [-comments] [-image N] [GIFfile]
DESCRIPTION
This is a graphics format converter from the GIF format to the PNM (i.e. PBM, PGM, or PPM) format.
If the image contains only black and maximally bright white, the output is PBM. If the image contains more than those two colors, but only
grays, the output is PGM. If the image contains other colors, the output is PPM.
If you have an animated GIF file, you can extract individual frames from it with gifsicle and then convert those using giftopnm.
A GIF image contains rectangular pixels. They all have the same aspect ratio, but may not be square (it's actually quite unusual for them
not to be square, but it could happen). The pixels of a Netpbm image are always square. Because of the engineering complexity to do oth-
erwise, giftopnm converts a GIF image to a Netpbm image pixel-for-pixel. This means if the GIF pixels are not square, the Netpbm output
image has the wrong aspect ratio. In this case, giftopnm issues an informational message telling you to run pnmscale to correct the out-
put.
OPTIONS --alphaout=alpha-filename
giftopnm creates a PGM (portable graymap) file containing the alpha channel values in the input image. If the input image doesn't
contain an alpha channel, the alpha-filename file contains all zero (transparent) alpha values. If you don't specify --alphaout,
giftopnm does not generate an alpha file, and if the input image has an alpha channel, giftopnm simply discards it.
If you specify - as the filename, giftopnm writes the alpha output to Standard Output and discards the image.
See pnmcomp(1) for one way to use the alpha output file.
-verbose
Produce verbose output about the GIF file input.
-comments
Only output GIF89 comment fields.
-image N
Output the specified gif image from the input GIF archive (where N is '1', '2', '20'...). Normally there is only one image per
file, so this option is not needed.
All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
RESTRICTIONS
This does not correctly handle the Plain Text Extension of the GIF89 standard, since I did not have any example input files containing
them.

LICENSE
If you use giftopnm, you are using a patent on the LZW compression method which is owned by Unisys, and in all probability you do not have
a license from Unisys to do so. Unisys typically asks $5000 for a license for trivial use of the patent. Unisys has never enforced the
patent against trivial users, and has made statements that it is much less concerned about people using the patent for decompression (which
is what giftopnm does than for compression. The patent expires in 2003 / 2004, depending on the country.
Rumor has it that IBM also owns a patent covering giftopnm.
A replacement for the GIF format that does not require any patents to use is the PNG format.
