Can the 386 toolkit be used :on other machines? The 386 Toolkit is/will be available from SCO. It should run on any 386 box that runs Xenix. The 386 Toolkit consists of 386 cross compiler and libraries, a 386 kernel and a few 386 programs, including ps, fsck (understands sparse files), and adb (sorry, no sdb or CodeView!). As the name implies, it's for hacking, not intended to be the "real thing". There are some bugs and limitations in the 386 kernel - no MultiScreen, 286 programs without separate I&D won't run, 386 programs with >64k external data core dump, and some 286 programs such as "cc" core dump under certain conditions. Most of these will be corrected soon.
