Hi everyone,

I would like to ask if anyone could please help me with the following problem.

I want to use a free program that seems to be compiled for an SGI IRIS OS. The source files are available here...

http://www.cim.mcgill.ca/ftp/rmsl/usycams/

Is there a free OS that I can install on Microsoft Virtual PC so that I can use this program on a XP host machine? Alternatively, is there any type of software emulator I can install that would allow me to use this program on a windows XP machine ? Is it difficult or even possible to compile the source to run on windows XP or a UNIX based OS that I can install on Microsoft virtual PC ?

I would appreciate any suggestions or advice.

Thanks
John

I guess I should have said SGI IRIX not IRIS

i got the following from another site, its not an answer to the above, but it could be an easier way round it

I see you have got some good help in the newsgroup comp.unix.solaris

I doubt that we can do better than that.
