You've got it; the application is SCO-centric
The application need to find a /dev/tty01 or more but can't work with 
dev/pts/1.

The developper is no more active and I don't have the sources.
One of my last resource is to find a way to start a terminal and have Centos
allowing me to start the application on a terminal as tty instead of a
pseudo-terminal.
The other way is to re-install an SCO Server wich is not a small task for
the time we have to recover some archived data.

This haven't been tried, and I will to morrow; but our best will be to use
it a text terminal.

There is no possibility to trace at start-up.
