	FreeBSD X.X

>Description:

	The amount of discussion on hackers@freebsd.org related to
	the lack of an iBCS2 man page has exceeded the effort
	required to fix the problem :-)

>How-To-Repeat:

	echo "where is the iBCS2 doc?" | mail hackers@freebsd.org

>Fix:
	
	Add the following man page to the distribution.

.Nd load iBCS2 runtime support for SCO and ISC binaries
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm ibcs2
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility loads kernel runtime support for iBCS2 compliant programs.
This runtime support is limited to emulation of the iBCS2
system call interface, and is far from complete. COFF binaries
and shared libraries are supported, however no shared libraries
are provided with the FreeBSD distribution.

.Sh BUGS
The emulation is very incomplete.
.Pp
Running dynamically linked binaries requires access to an existing
SCO system from which you can grab the shared libraries.
.Pp
You can't really use this without reading the source code.

 The *really* *final* version of this sucker. (Jeeez I'm glad I
 don't actually run this stuff :-)
 
 ChangeLog: Might as well include the demo files ...
