I can't tell whether you know the full story or not, but the :-)
suggests that you do.  Yes, that's me, and I'm still working on it.
The stuff I'm talking about is part of the CD-ROM.  What it really is
is a full set of freeware tools and programs for SCO, rather like the
System V.4 CD-ROM I brought out a few years ago.  The delay was caused
by the emetic development environment and the problems it entailed.
But it's going to be finished Real Soon Now.
