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! Jordan
