jgt, thanks for the fast reply.
Sorry about "all" the threads, opened one in the BSD section for BSD binary compatibility and another here, for SCO binary compatibility, just trying to comply with forum rules.

The applications themselves are a bit tricky, as they are proprietary software, and possible uses threads as well.
I also got a hold of the same software (almost) for Solaris, and that is also a route I am taking, but there are some versions issues that creates bugs.
I did hear that some DG/UX binaries "simply work" on an early version of Unixware, and would love to give it a shot.
The binaries are not stripped, but they are dynamically linked, mainly to /usr/dglib/libc.so.1
They do not require a driver or directed to hw devices.

File output from Unixware 7 (also DG/UX, same output):
ELF 32-bit LSB executable 80386 Version 1

File output from OpenServer 5:
ELF 32-bit LSB executable 80386, dynamically linked, not stripped, no debug (linux?)

Other statuses - BSD elf info says it's SVR4

BRANDELF(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       BRANDELF(1)

NAME

     brandelf -- mark an ELF binary for a specific ABI

SYNOPSIS

     brandelf [-lv] [-f ELF_ABI_number] [-t string] file ...

DESCRIPTION

     The brandelf utility marks an ELF binary to be run under a certain ABI for FreeBSD.

     The options are as follows:

     -f ELF_ABI_number
	     Forces branding with the supplied ELF ABI number.	Incompatible with the -t option.  These values are assigned by SCO/USL.

     -l      Writes the list of all known ELF types to the standard error.

     -v      Turns on verbose output.

     -t string
	     Brands the given ELF binaries to be of the string ABI type.  Currently supported ABIs are ``FreeBSD'', ``Linux'', and ``SVR4''.

     file    If -t string is given it will brand file to be of type string, otherwise it will simply display the branding of file.

EXIT STATUS

     Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails if a file does not exist, is too short, fails to brand properly, or the brand
     requested is not one of the known types and the -f option is not set.

EXAMPLES

     The following is an example of a typical usage of the brandelf command:

	   brandelf file
	   brandelf -t Linux file
