OS Compatibility: Can a Splunk universal forwarder be installed on a machine running SCO UNIXWARE 7.1.4?

I've been asked to install a Splunk Universal Forwarder on an machine running: SCO UNIXWARE 7.1.4

I can't find any details on if this is supported by Splunk Universal Forwarders - this is a strange variant of Unix with its own Kernel I believe. Has anyone else come across this in relation to Splunk and knows if it is supported? And if so, by which version?

Hi Lewis
Unfortunately as per http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.1/Installation/Systemrequirements , we do not list SCO UNIXWARE 7.1.4 as a supported OS.

I have gone back through the release notes back to Splunk 4.1.x and it does not appear that we have historically supported this OS
