For my sins I am the administrator of several SCO Unix serviers. With the self imolation of SCO I am looking to move to a linux server. I have a legacy app that I need to keep running for another 5 years that is not available in a linux distro.

So here is the question: Does anyone know if I can run the app under an emulator (or any other way) under Ubunto Linux ?

It is an integrated psychiatric office management system with about 800,000 lines of code.
Lovely system.

If you look on google there are some artifacts to run SCO binaries from Linux, but they look like very old patches to the 2.2.x series. I would seriously start thinking on doing a real port or reimplementation.
What language was the application written with ? Do you have the source code ?
