Native Unix software in Airyx ?

Dear all,
I have a couple of old Unix software that cannot run under Linux. Airyx is a possible solution? Suggestions?
Thanks

Is this software you have source code for or binaries? What Unix are they for?

Not sure about the Unix version. It is dated 1988. I have the code, it if Fortran

It might work - BSD is closer to Unix™ than Linux is, but I suspect the odds are not great. There is nothing special about airyxOS in this regard; in fact, the changes we've made might hurt rather than help. Plain FreeBSD or the open Solaris (OpenIndiana) are probably the best bets at building & running something like that.

Thanks. I will try Solaris of freeBSD
