Is it really SVR4 based?UnixWare is one of SCO's UNIX operating system offerings (transferred fromNovell to SCO on Dec 6th 1995), combining UNIX(R) System V Release 4.2for 80x86 processors (including Multiprocessors)  with NetWare clientconnectivity (and NW Server in UW2.1), DOS Merge, Motif, support anddocumentation.  It provides a graphical user interface based on theX11R5 windowing system, and is capable of running Unix, DOS, and/orWindows programs. The most recent version is known as UnixWare 7.Some History....UnixWare, first released in November 1992, was the product of ajointly-owned venture, named Univel, between Novell and Unix SystemLaboratories (USL, then 77% majority owned by AT&T).  In June 1993,Novell completed its acquisition of USL and, by extension, Univel.USL and Univel were folded into the Novell Unix Systems Group(USG, the namesake of an earlier group by the samename at AT&T).UnixWare 2 and 2.1 were developed by the same team (formerlyat 190 River Road, Summit, New Jersey, then Florham Park, NJ)that worked with Sun Microsystems to create UNIX(R) System V Release 4.UnixWare 1.x was based on the UNIX(R) System V Release 4.2 kernel completedby USL in July 1992 , and UnixWare 2.x was based on the UNIX(R) System VRelease 4.2MP kernel completed by USL in December 1993.In September 1995 Novell announced it was pulling out of the UNIX(R) businessand that the UnixWare business would transfer to SCO Inc. The transfercompleted on December 6th 1995.  Future development of UnixWare 2 will bedone by  SCO now at Murray Hill in New Jersey, USA.The UNIX trademark, previously owned by AT&T and then deeded to USL,passed to Novell with the acquisition of USL.  After a brief period ofnegotiations with rival Unix vendors Sun Microsystems, Santa CruzOperation, International Business Machines, and Hewlett-Packard,Novell granted exclusive licensing rights to the UNIX trademark toX/Open, now part of The Open Group, an international Open Systems industrystandards organization.  The UNIX trademark is now owned by The Open Group (seehttp://www.UNIX-systems.orgfor Q&A's on X/Open UNIX and the branding programme); the industryagreed definition of UNIX (branded as UNIX95 previously "Spec1170") is aset of over 1,000-odd applications programming interfaces (APIs) drawnfrom the following standards:  IEEE Portable Operating System's Interface (POSIX) 1003.1  AT&T's System V Interface Definition SVID3  X/Open's XPG4 Version 2 interface specification  "Use-based" APIs drawn from an assortment of third-party vendorsThe Open Group has now made a HTML translation of the Single UNIXSpecification on the world wide web (seehttp://www.UNIX-systems.org/go/unix).UnixWare 1.x and 2.x are or were UNIX 93 branded (SCO seemed todrop the 1.x release off the register). UnixWare 2.1.1 and laterare UNIX 95 branded, that is are conforming to the Single UNIX Specification.X/Open maintains an online list of branded products.A summary of some of the key features of UnixWare (taken fromhttp://unixware.sco.com) follows:   32-bit processing with a fully-multithreaded kernel and preemptive   multitasking   Based on the latest version of UNIX SVR4.2 MP multiprocessor technology   Asynchronous I/O   Kernel, disk I/O and networking protocols are multithreaded for optimal   performance and scalability   User-levels threads APIs for writing multithreaded applications   Dynamically loadable modules including device drivers, file systems, etc.,   to optimize memory utilization and performance   Adheres to POSIX 1003.1, X/Open XPG4 Base Profile Brand, FIPS 151-2,   UNIX System V ABI, ABI+, SVID 3, iBCS2 and X Consortium ICCCM   Point-and click, drag-and-drop GUI   Clock, calculator, text editor, e-mail and terminal emulator   Online hypertext documentation and help facility   OSF/Motif 1.2.3 GUI for desktop and applications   Support for X-Window X11R5 facilities, including bit-mapped fonts   Adobe Type Manager plus 13 Adobe Type 1 scalable fonts (uses standard DOS   and Adobe fonts)   Intuitive installation procedure from CD-ROM or QIC-tape or via network   Graphical system and network administration tools   Support for UNIX commands, interfaces and utilities such as Bourne shell,   ksh, csh, vi, tar and cpio   Full internationalization:English, German, French, Japanese, Italian and   Spanish versions availableThe list of features from Free SCO UnixWare (currently 2.1.2) is as below:       The Free SCO UnixWare product is a license to use the       fully-functional single-user version of SCO UnixWare Application       Server -- an advanced UNIX operating system that turns       industry-standard Intel processor-based PCs into high-end       workstations and development system platforms. In addition to       traditional UNIX System facilities and development tools, the       Free SCO UnixWare product includes Internet Services and full       TCP/IP networking. Internet Services includes everything you need       to quickly get up and running on the Internet or Web. Free SCO       UnixWare product allows you to explore the Internet and publish       your own Web pages using Netscape Navigator Gold  3.0. It also       allows you to run your own personal Web server using Netscape       FastTrack Server  2.0. All of this is facilitated by the fast and       reliable transport provided by enhanced PPP from Morning Star       Technologies. Additional networking capabilities include IPX/SPX       , NFS , DNS, SMTP and POP.       The development system provided with Free SCO UnixWare product       includes C and C++ compilers, a complete set of libraries and       APIs, debuggers, and other tools for code development and       testing. Use of this software is solely for educational and       non-commercial use to enable the evaluation and understanding of       SCO products.The latest version of UnixWare is known as UnixWare 7. Thiswas introduced in March 1998.See http://www.sco.com/unixware/new_features/factsheet.html for a factsheet.Subject: G2) Where can I purchase UnixWare?Since December 6th 1995, UnixWare can be purchased through the SCOreseller channel.To order SCO UnixWare in North America, call the following number:        1 800 SCO UNIX     (1 800 726 8649)For outside of North America, call:        +44 1923 816344Free UnixWare can be ordered directly from SCOSee http://www.sco.com/offers/freeUW.htm.The current media costs are USD $19 (or #12.26 UK pounds).Be sure to specify you want the UnixWare - I ordered it yetreceived SCO OpenServer :-).During the next quarter its expected that a free version of UnixWare 7will be made available.Subject: G3) How much does UnixWare cost?As above, Free UnixWare costs USD $19-We have no data on the other costs, contact the number above.Subject: G4) What industry standards does UnixWare support?UnixWare 1.xUnixWare 1.x supports the following formal and defacto industry standards   X/Open Portability Guide Issue 3 Base Profile (XPG3)   System V Interface Definition Issue 3 (SVID3)   IEEE Std POSIX 1003.1-1990 (ISO 9945-1) [UW1.1.1 and later **]   US Govt. FIPS 151-2 [UW1.1.1 and later formally certified]   X/Open UNIX 93 brandedUnixWare 2.xUnixWare 2.x supports the following formal and defacto industry standards   X/Open Portability Guide Issue 4 Base Profile (XPG4)   System V Interface Definition Issue 3 (SVID3)   IEEE Std POSIX 1003.1-1990 (ISO 9945-1)   US Govt. FIPS 151-2 (2.01 has been certified to GTI, MC, MFS and AP)   Partial IEEE POSIX 1003.2-1992 support (commands)   Partial XPG4 X/Open Transport Interface (XTI)   X/Open UNIX 93 branded   X/Open UNIX 95 branded (2.1.1 and later)Looking at standards trends (as of Dec 96) UnixWare lacks completessupport for:POSIX 1003.1b-1993 Realtime (was P1003.4) andPOSIX 1003.1c-1995 Threads;  of these Threads is probablymore needed than Realtime at the moment.UnixWare 7 claims the same level of standards complianceas UnixWare 2.1.2 , i.e. still no pthreads or realtime support.It does include better internet support, in the form of builtin http/ldap servers, a JVM and JDK, improved networking support.Subject: G5) What versions of X11 and Motif are supported? What about CDE?X11 Support (graphical display system)UnixWare 2 currently supports the X11 graphical system at release 5(complete with the standard X11 libraries and window managers). However,an unsupported release of X11R6 (as well as updated graphic drivers) areavailable in the freebird archive.The X11R6 server supports PEX, XIE, SHAPE ,MIT-SHM, Multi-Buffering,XTEST, BIG-REQUESTS, MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD, XIdle,DEC-XTRAP, XIE, SYNC and XC-MISC extensions.The X11R5 server supports SHAPE, MIT-SHM, Multi-Buffering, XTEST,MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD, XIdle and DEC-XTRAP extensions.MotifMotif libraries and the mwm window manager are shipped with UnixWare. Thecurrent version of Motif is 1.2.3. Also included are the MOTIF/OpenLook (Moolit) libraries and window manager.CDE (Common Desktop Environment)Although UnixWare 2 out-of-the-box doesn't support CDE directly, UnixWare2 is "CDE-ready". This allows third parties to provide CDE functinality forUnixWare 2.     One such company is TriTeal (see http://www.triteal.com).UnixWare 7 adds builtin support for X11R6 and CDE. Its not clearfrom the blurb what version of CDE and Motif are supported.Subject: G6) What's in UnixWare 2.1?A white paper describing UnixWare 2.1 can be downloaded from        http://unixware.sco.com/2.1/newmastr.pdfYou'll need a PDF viewer -Binaries for 7 UNIX platfforms including UnixWare are available onftp://ftp.xopen.org/pub/PDF/xpdf. ftp.adobe.com has the freely availableacrobat reader for Microsoft Windows and other platforms too.The html version is on        http://unixware.sco.com/2.1/wp/wpunxtoc.htmSubject: G7) What are UnixWare's hardware requirements?  Does it run on a PC?    How can I find out hardware compatibility?Yes, UnixWare runs on PCs.  The necessary hardware configuration forinstalling and running UnixWare is:* A personal computer running an Intel 80386 or higher processor  with a minimum speed of 25MHz.  The ISA, EISA, and MCA bus architectures are supported.* A minimum of 8MB RAM for the Personal Edition.* A minimum of 12 MB RAM for the Application Server.* A minimum 80MB hard disk for the Personal Edition.* A minimum 120 MB hard disk for the Application Server.* A minimum 40MB if you have a second hard disk (optional).* A 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch diskette drive for booting UnixWare.* A serial, bus, or PS/2-compatible mouse is recommended, but not required.Evan Leibovitch (evan@telly.on.ca) notes that, while UnixWare does notabsolutely require a 3.5" diskette drive, it is a practical necessityin real world usage.  Many useful/necessary packages only come on 3.5"media.  He adds that the 1.1 release supports the new 2.88MB format3.5" floppies for those machines which support it.Eric Raymond used to post in the Usenet groupcomp.unix.pc-clone.32bita guide to hardware compatibility for Unix versions that run onIntel-based hardware.  While not specifically devoted to UnixWare, itwas handy for discussions of the difficulties that may be encounteredin installing Unix on PC hardware.  Unfortunately, nothing has beenheard from Raymond in recent times and, while you can probably find acopy of the last version of the pc-clone hardware guide in thertfm.mit.edu archives, the information therein is getting more datedby the minute.SCO maintain a set of Web pages that provide an OnlineHardware Compatibility Handbook. The UnixWare2 information isintegrated into that. This is available at:        http://www.sco.com/Third/hchThe freebird project also maintains a set of web pages where UnixWareusers can register their hardware configurations:Seehttp://www.freebird.org/hwcompat.html.Subject: G8) What is the current release/version of UnixWare?The latest release of UnixWare is UnixWare 7.The latest FREE release is UnixWare 2.1.2.The last version of UnixWare 1.x is release 1.1.4.The last version of UnixWare 2.0x is release 2.03.Subject: G9) What's new in UnixWare 7?Much of the following is taken from the SCO Web siteat http://www.sco.com/unixware/new_features/factsheet.html .SVR5 Kernel* Large scale memory support up to 64GB* Large scale data storage with built-in disk spanning. 1TB  files/filesystems and total storage of up to 76,500TB* Dynamic kernel with reduced per process memory and self-tuning for maximum  performance* 64-bit filesystems, development tools and librariesHeterogeneous Network Computing* Network User Licenses for automatic user access to all services at a  networked site (or campus), irrespective of the server that provides them* LDAP directory server, DHCP server, multi-link PPP and IPv6 APIs for  enterprise wide connectivity* Scalable Message Store with support for IMAP4 for local, remote and mobil  mail services* Optimized Java and JDK for web-enabled applications* Webtop, CDE or character-based interfaceRemote and Centralized Management* Tarantella technology for complete remote control via browser-based  administration from anywhere* SCOadmin Wizards, new graphical configuration managers and point-and-click  management using the console or via networked or dial-up connections* Host Group Management for one step management of multiple servers* Built-in SCO ARCserve/Open from Cheyenne Backup/Restore with automated,  unattended operationReliability and Fault Tolerance* Hot Plug PCI systems* High Availability Clustering* Dynamic Kernel Drivers with device independent driver instances that can  be disabled, loaded/unloaded and enable system reconfiguration without  bringing it down* Hot Swap DevicesEmerging Hardware Support* Video adapters with advanced graphics capabilities; new audio hardware* Fast Ethernet, FDDI and ISDN for high speed connectivity* Multipath I/O, I2O, Hot Plug PCI, SSA and support for Fiber Channel  devices* High Speed Modems and Serial communications up to 115K* Hot Plug Controllers and Disk Drives for live adding/replacement of  componentsSubject: G10)How is UnixWare 7 packaged?Unixware 7 now packages the OS into five separate bundles as follows:Enterprise Edition:For high-end enterprise servers to run large-scale business applicationsand databases for decision support and on-line transaction processing.Departmental Edition:For departmental servers in medium or large organizations to runapplications and reliably share business critical information with any clientincluding PCs, NCs, terminals and any Java-enabled browser client.Intranet Edition:An industrial strength intranet/Internet server for enterprise wide webpublishing and is an ideal foundation for e-commerce, extranet and Internetapplications.Messaging Edition:For departmental and enterprise-wide Internet mail and messagingservers with powerful and reliable remote messaging capabilities, universalclient access and simplified administration via built-in directory services.Base Edition:A solid foundation for building dedicated or specialized serverenvironments, such as telecommunications equipment and other embeddedsystems.

SeeG9 for a general description of what's new.The answers you may be looking for are:UW7 is the Latest Version of UnixWare.UW7 includes integrated OpenServer functionality.The UW7 kernel has been rev'd to Release 5.  That makes UW7,UNIX System V, Release 5 (SVR5) (that's marketing for you:-).If that doesn't satisfy you, try these on for size (thanks todavidgu@sco.com)UW7 has optional support for up to 64Gb of RAMUW7 has support for up to 76800Tb of diskUW7 supports Multi-Path I/O which gives built-in SCSI HA redundancysupport with commodity SCSI HA'sUW7 has Hot-plug PCI card support (where supported by the hardware)UW7 has I20 supportUW7 is 64-bit ready (allows 64-bit files and filesystems, andimplements the 64-bit API's )UW7 can be administered over the web through Tarantella WebtopUW7 Installation Media and software license are now fully separated itemsSubject: G13) Do I need to recompile my OpenServer apps for Unixware 7?Geoff Galitz writes:In most cases, no.  However, in the few issues that are not rectifiable(as noted below), a recompile will "almost always" work.  I have neverrun into OpenServer code that does not compile on Unixware 7.  Thatdoesn't mean there isn't any, though.Subject: G14) Will my Unixware 2 application work on Unixware 7?Most will.  There are applications (mostly commercial) that utilizewhat can be considered legacy aspects, generally apps that interactdirectly with the UnixWare desktop.Subject: G15) Will my OpenServer binary applications work on Unixware 7?Most will work without modification.  However, there are someinstances that should be noted (that are correctable):Binary Compatibility Module (BCM)This may be necessary for applications that require remapping of kernelstructures.  This is available on the Development System package for UW7.This package is called the UnixWare/OpenServer Development Kit,other names have been; Universal Development Kit, Gemini DevelopmentKit (pre-release version) and Unixware Development Kit.Runtime-system differencesGenerally correctable by using the OSRCMDS environment variable).SocketsApplicationss that use sockets have a rather high possibility of failing.Installing the BCM or, of course, recompiling should rectify the matter. Subject: G16)What the heck is this OSRCMDS thing?OSRCMDS is an environmental variable that instructs the kernel toexec any specific OpenServer binaries that may exist in order foryour OpenServer apps to work as expected.  These specific binaries live in the/OpenServer filesystem.To use turn this functionality on, type:  OSRCMDS=on ; export OSRCMDS if you use the Bourne or Korn Shell.Subject: G17) What about specific Applications on UnixWare 7, such as Wordperfect, Informix, Oracle, MicroFocus COBOL, and Cleo SNA Server.WordperfectWordperfect for SCO OpenServer installs without complaining, but will notwork unless file locking is turned off. The necessary command is        xwp -adminand explore the menus.  InformixAccording to davidgu@sco.com:Online Dynamic Server 7.23 is available for UW7 and officially supported.  OracleAccording to davidgu@sco.com:Oracle 7.3.4 expected very soon.  MicroFocus COBOLAccording to davidgu@sco.com:UW2.1 versions of Object COBOL Developer Suite 4.1 andApplication v4.1 supported on UW7 with addition of ptf7013and a modification to liblist.  Cleo SNA ServerAccording to davidgu@sco.com:Available and officially supported for UW7.Subject: G18) Are there anonymous ftp or web server sites with UnixWare       archives?SCO has an anonymous ftp service at ftp.sco.com.UnixWare files can be found under ~ftp/UW20 for UnixWare 2.0,and ~ftp/UW21 for UnixWare 2.1.For freeware checkouthttp://www.freebird.organd        ftp://ftp.freebird.org/unixware/binaries of handy things like the GNU development tools, perl, Seyonand GhostScript show up there.The freebird project has two other prime sites:  ftp://ftp1.freebird.org/pub/mirror/  ftp://ftp2.freebird.org/pub/unixware/For the list of mirror sites seehttp://www.freebird.org/ftp_sites.html.The SCO Skunkware project also contains much  freeware softwareand can be reached onhttp://www.sco.com/skunkwareSubject: G19) Where can I get online information on UnixWare?*** COMPUSERVE ***SCO maintains a UnixWare forum on CompuServe.  If you have aCompuServe ID and wish to access this form, type:  GO UNIXWAREat any CompuServe prompt.  There are message sections for GeneralInformation, Product Information, Developers, DOS Merge, Installation,X Windows, Networking, Device Drivers, Printing, Communications,Applications, Bug Watchers, and Updates.If you do not have a CompuServe ID, contact CompuServe CustomerService at 800-848-8990 or 614-457-8650 for information on setting upan account.*** USENET ***If you have access to Usenet, look into the newsgroupnews:comp.unix.unixware.misc, comp.unix.unixware.announce.These forums entertains discussions and announcements of all issuesrelated to UnixWare.  Other newsgroups possibly of interest toUnixWare users arenews:comp.unix.sys5.r4(for discussions relating to theSystem V Release 4 version of Unix, which includes Novell's UnixWare)andnews:comp.unix.misc(for miscellaneous discussions of Unix).If you do not have access to Usenet, you have a variety of options.If you have access to a Unix system, chances are good that it mayalready provide Usenet access - particularly if it is at an academicor research site.  If you do not have access to a Unix system, yourbest bet is to get an account with one of the increasing number ofpublic-access Unix systems being set up by entrepreneurial Unixsysadmins.  You can find the contact phone numbers for such systems inany one of the many books on the Internet now beginning to flood thepopular press.*** MAILING LIST ***(It's not clear that the following list is working at the moment).The news:comp.unix.unixware.misc newsgroup is gatewayed into amailing list for the benefit of those users with email, but notUsenet, access.

(Rumour has it than in some configurationsthe UnixWare NetWare server out performs native NetWare!)The features and components (this taken from http://unixware.sco.com)that are included with the UW2.1 NWS technology include:   NetWare Directory Services� 4.1 (NDS)�   NetWare 4.1 File Services   NetWare 4.1 Print Services   Graphical Administration   Integrated backup and restore   Hybrid user management   User LicensingSubject: G25) Can UnixWare run Linux binaries ?Yes, see the lxrun emulator FAQ athttp://www.sco.com/skunkware/emulators/lxrun-FAQ.html.Subject: G26) Are there any books I can read/purchase about UnixWare and UNIX ?If you have UnixWare 2, firstly try the online documentation -now in Dynatext and a great improvement on the UnixWare 1.x FingertipLibrarian.A book worth considering is "Novell's Guide to UnixWare 2"by Chris Negus and Larry Schumer . This is a second edition,the previous edition was about UnixWare 1.1. Published by Sybexits ISBN number is 0-7821-1720-1.Its also possible to order printed documentation (see the developerFAQ for details).Another good reference is the UNIX Press books on Unix SVR4.2.Samuel Ko (kko@sfu.ca orsko@wimsey.bc.ca) maintains the "ConciseGuide to UNIX Books", which is posted regularly to the Usenetnewsgroupsmisc.books.technical,alt.books.technical,biz.books.technical,comp.unix.questions, comp.unix.wizards,comp.unix.admin,comp.answers, andnews.answers.  It can also bedownloaded from the Internet via anonymous ftp atftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/books/.This list contains many titles of interest to UNIX users both new andold, and is well worth the trouble to acquire.A list of pointers to  book resources can also be found athttp://www.UNIX-systems.org/link_list.html.If you are looking for a reference guides to UNIX, TPI and NPIthen see The Open Group's online web publications athttp://www.opengroup.org/pubs/catalog/web.htm--Andrew Josey#include <std/disclaimer.h>
