I am hoping someone can kick me up the learning curve (!) on
Virtualization:
We have an old piece of data logging software that was written in
Turbo
Pascal 6 using a file I/O module tuned to Netware and so it expects
its data
files to be on a Netware server and will not access them locally or
via an
MS/Samba share - essentially, it uses direct NCP calls for parts of
its data
access.
The logging software was replaced two years ago, but we need
occasional
access to the data for a minimum of 6 years and so I wondered
whether I
could virtualize a Netware 3.x/4.x/5.x or 6./x server under Linux (or
Win..er..you know..).
virtualization seems an awful lot of heavy lifting for a capability
that you're going to use so infrequently. if you can get the data
off the old Netware machine, you might be able to make do with some
of the old Linux-based Netware emulation solutions:
