Да возможно. Это FAQ. В данный момент его ведёт Девид Вильямс

Более того, есть сведения о работе ODS под Linux
Привожу ряд интересных писем из переписки Информикса

Yes, online dsa 7.20.UC2 for sco 3.2.5
run successfully on linux 2.0 (slackware 96).
You'll have to install on your linux box :
libnsl : library responsible for providing the user level API for the
TLI networking.
iBCS : Intel Binary Compatibility Specification that specifies the
interfaces between application programs and the surrounding operating
system environment for i386 based systems, supporting a.out, elf, coff
and xout binary format.
You can find them on any linux site.

Hmm....
If a customer was to put a SCO port of ODS onto Linux, would they
receive the normal level of support? (Even though it works...)

I would like to add that, even if I was told that ESQL/C
does not run on Linux, one of my customers did that.
First, he downloaded the GNU compiler sources, and compiled it
to generate a new compiler that generates SCO executables.
Then, he installed the required SCO libraries for development
from the SCO development kit.
His technique is to do a cross-generation: he generates
SCO executables under Linux. Then, the SCO executables
are executed by the iBCS module.
I could contact again this person, to get more details,
but I would only dare to disturb him if you feel you
will need this information professionally.
BTW, I'm lurking those fanatic Linuxers mailing list,
and I cannot understand their position. The Linux port
does already exist: it is the SCO port. They only have
to make our SCO binaries work...

No, they would not. This is why those fanatic Linuxers are trying to
get us to OFFICIALLY support Linux.
