I tried it. It works ok. Just things like ps won't work (but that was clear
before). But I haven't noticed a better working with SCO binaries. I tried
to use WordPerfect 5.1. Only the normal wp and wp in an wpxtool worked. The
real X-version xwp crashed with a segmantation fault. I think the new SCO-code
isn't worth to get a 2.2-current kernel.
Bye,
Udo
