New If you have old software you need to keep running
consider warp. It will run that stuff and run it well. It'll also run like stink on the machine you're talking about above.

It's probably the best system extant for compatibility with old software like that.

New One of my most profitable clients is running . . .
. . MS-DOS programs I wrote in Turbo Pascal many years ago - plus they're still running a DOS version of BusinessWorks accounting (which Sage said wasn't Y2K compliant - but guess what). They're running all this on OS/2, often two or three instances of each program on each workstation so they can be in different parts of the program at the same time.

All these programs run like stink, without flaw and never crash. It's a heavily networked environment and the fax server (FaxWorks LAN for OS/2) is busy all day supporting outgoing traffic from 12 workstations. They have redundant servers running Debian Sarge.

Their competitors are completely mystified how then can instantly answer inquiries that require a "Let me call you back on that" everywhere else.

                     Do you mean pre-Win MS-DOS programs that you want to keep? - (crazy) - Nov. 25, 2006, 06:38:41 PM EST
                     Depends on what you mean by "run". - (Another Scott) - (7) - Nov. 25, 2006, 06:55:43 PM EST

                             Is that a bug with Firefox - (lincoln) - (4) - Nov. 26, 2006, 04:15:28 PM EST
                                 No, it's apparently a specific kernel/file system issue. - (Another Scott) - (3) - Nov. 26, 2006, 04:32:48 PM EST
                                     New kernel still shows the same behavior - (drewk) - (2) - Nov. 26, 2006, 08:49:03 PM EST
                                         It was seen in x86-64 kernels too. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Nov. 28, 2006, 09:03:01 PM EST
