My only concern is functionality, and since I was under the false impression that I needed the separate file system, I didn't even check it yesterday. Now that I have, it is working GREAT!! All of the operations that we needed from our old system is basically the ability to look at, print and/or email the historical information that we have going back about 20 to 25 years. All of that is operational and I will be a hero now - thanks for all your help with this.
There are just a couple of "cleanup" issues - SCO keeps complaining that I have software that is not registered - I have entered the license numbers I have, but I remember there was a website you had to go on and get a Registration Key. Is there still a place to do that?
Also, in my tinkering around I was able to get SCO installed on a VM, using VM Workstation version 12.5 in a Windows 7 Pro-64 computer. I chose the VM Workstation 8.x compatibility model for my VM, an IDE hard drive at 0:0 and an IDE CD Rom at 1:0 using the physical drive of the computer. Using the defbootstr command at installation it went like a champ. I even installed the keyboard mouse and the graphic screen/mouse is working. The only problem I have is I can't find instructions about how to install the network card driver. I selected "bridge mode" when I created the VM, and SCO did not recognize my NIC at installation, it is a Realtek PCIe GBE Family NIC on the mother board. I believe it is compatible with 5.0.6a, and I think I found the driver, but I have no clue how to get it installed. My only option is from a CD (I think) and I don't know how to do that. The Software Manager does not recognize what I downloaded and burned to the CD as "software" and I am clueless - could you advise me? I can't find any instructions online. I would like to have this VM as a "backup" plan, I would not use it unless the physical server goes down again. Thanks again for all your help.

iv_thread_create
iv_thread(3) ivykis programmer's manual iv_thread(3)
NAME
iv_thread_create, iv_thread_set_debug_state - ivykis thread convenience functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <iv_thread.h>
int iv_thread_create(char *name, void (*start_routine)(void *), void *arg);
void iv_thread_set_debug_state(int state);
DESCRIPTION
iv_thread_create is a wrapper around pthread_create(3) which will maintain an ivykis main loop reference in the calling thread (which must
be an ivykis(3) thread, i.e. have had iv_init(3) called in it) for as long as the created thread is alive.
Maintaining a reference on the calling thread's ivykis event loop makes sure that the calling thread will not return from its ivykis main
loop before the created thread exits, as that could cause cleanup still happening in the created thread to be interrupted when the calling
thread subsequently calls exit(3).
The created thread need not be an ivykis thread.
Enabling debugging by calling iv_thread_set_debug with a nonzero argument will print a debug message to standard error whenever a thread is
created via iv_thread_create, whenever a thread so created terminates normally by returning from its start_routine, self-terminates by
calling pthread_exit(3), or is successfully canceled by pthread_cancel(3), and whenever destruction of such a thread is signaled back to
the calling thread.
For inter-thread signaling, iv_thread uses iv_event(3).
