SCO

can i run software run in SCO open desktop 2.0 in SCO open server 5 or 6
thank you for help me

Generally speaking yes.

thank's but software not work or i don't know install it
my software name perkin elmer is chemistry analys
for install it i have *5 floppy disk (software library)
*1 flopppy disk (ide configuration)
*1 floppy disk (supplement disk)

Those are likely what were called "install" disks (though they could be "installpkg")

See xinstall(ADM) and
installpkg(ADM)

Whether or not the app will actually work... shrug... I do not know.

Running SCO install commands on software that may not run on SCO is not very useful, so first we must find out if the user's Perkin Elmer Chemistry Analysis software can actually run on SCO.

For all we know, the user has Windows XP binaries on his floppy disks.

In fact, if we search Perkin Elmer (I just did!), I can only that XP is supported. Here is an example:

A site search for SCO on the same web site yields nothing.

So, the user needs to verify what kind of binaries they have first.

Since it ran on an earlier version of SCO it should (sucker that I am for making statements like this) be easy to find out what you have.

Plug the first install disk in the floppy and run "tar tvf /dev/fd0135ds18" and tell us what it reports.
If it errors out then try to mount it "mount /dev/fd0135ds18 /mnt". If it doesn't error out tell us the results of "ls /mnt" then "umount /mnt".
And as the last test for this sequence , running as root, use "custom" and tell it "software" , "new" , from "current machine by name", image file, and from
"/dev/fd0135ds18".
One of those tries may work. But may not. In spite of what Yoda says.

Except that he implied that these came from a SCO 2 system.

It's also possible that this is old DOS stuff. SCO had a Dos emulation shell way back when, so they might have run under that.

Running xinstall or installpkg isn't going to try to install anything that isn't in the formats those installers expect, so it's harmless to try.
