Well, this is nevertheless an interesting action, and perhaps the only
right thing they can do, now being faced with MicroSnot everywhere...
(and good-quality free Unix clones).  I'm surprised that the offer
even includes a development system, something where UNIX vendors
always believed they had to divorce it from the main system, and could
make big bucks out of it.

Note that they are also announcing Unixware, which is quite a more
modern variant than their ancient Openserver SVR3.2 technology.
