Yes indeed.  I am at USENIX right now and am currently talking with
some of the SCO folks on what their plans for all this are.  A
promising sign is that they are actually _enthusiastic_ about the
prospect of SCO binary emulation in FreeBSD and I am seeing if I can't
possibly convince them to be even more supportive than that, like
maybe providing a little technical assistance for making it work a lot
better than it does now - both now and for their next product.

On the whole, I'm actually happy about this.  Novell clearly didn't know
what to do with UNIX and perhaps SCO will.  The UNIX camp has done enough
in-fighting up to now, and the competition isn't in St. Cruz - it's
in Redmond!
