Default Need to get out of SCO, linux-abi

I would think there are a bunch of SCO users all over the world that
need to get out of SCO Openserver and into an OS that has a future. I
have a client who has been running SBT accounting on Foxpro Unix/SCO
for around 12 years. They are very happy with product and do not want
to change unless they can find something better.

So my task is to get Foxpro Unix running on any popular Linux kernel
that is recent. I am not very good at patches, and even worse at 'C'.
So when I try to install linux-abi nothing ever goes right, as was the
case today. Some have offered how-to's but they are quickly outdated.

I found some good links, but still beyond me to get it working:
Linux-abi on RedHat: http://ace-host.stuart.id.au/russell/files/linux-abi/
....on Debian: http://ace-host.stuart.id.au/russell...atch-linuxabi/
Sourceforge project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-abi/

Is there anyone out there who has done this (linux-abi) on a recent
kernel, or is capable of doing it and would consider it as work for
hire?

Thanks,
Bob the Whiner

P.S. Yes Bill C., you were right, I did get linux-abi & Foxpro running
on SUSE 9.0, but I would like to get into a newer kernel that supports
SATA, USB, etc.
