   That's because NetBSD is a unix.  I don't know if it has any legal claim   
   to the Unix name including the capital U or not.   
      
   There are many Unix operating systems (proper / capital U).  There are   
   even more unix (like) operating systems.   
      
   You have touched on three of them in this thread; SCO Unix (I don't   
   recall which one), Linux, NetBSD.  There are probably three orders of   
   magnitude more unix like operating systems.

   I'd be somewhat surprised if SCO binaries will run in NetBSD.  But maybe   
   they will.   
      
   I'd encourage you to do a fresh install of UnixWare / OpenServer / Xenix   
   in a VM and trying to get the binaries running there.
