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

elf2aout

ELF2AOUT(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       ELF2AOUT(1)

NAME

     elf2aout -- convert a NetBSD ELF-format executable to NetBSD a.out format

SYNOPSIS

     elf2aout elf-file aout-file

DESCRIPTION

     Reads a fully-linked ELF executable (such as a  linked kernel) and produces an equivalent a.out format executable file.

     The elf2aout utility is used to convert native NetBSD ELF binaries to a.out format, for compatibility with bootblocks and kernel-reading
     utilities like kvm(3) and kvm_mkdb(8), which currently expect an a.out format kernel.

SEE ALSO

     elf2ecoff(1), ld(1), kvm(3), a.out(5), elf(5), kvm_mkdb(8)

HISTORY

     elf2aout was originally developed for NetBSD/pmax by Ted Lemon and was first distributed with the pmax port of NetBSD 1.1.

BUGS

     elf2aout assumes there are no multiply-referenced symbols in the input ELF symbol section.  It may be necessary to link with -x to avoid such
     duplicate symbols.

     In some environments, the GNU binutils objcopy(1) utility may be a better solution than elf2aout.
