Some DBMS systems, although they don't play with the console,
bypass the filesystem, which may cause incompatibilities.

PROGRESS 4GL/RDBMS is such an example. You can't run UNIX Progress
on XENIX or the other way around, even though the binaries will
execute. This may also explain the need for a different version
for SCO, since it does not use the S51K filesystem.
