(and good-quality free Unix clones). Need I remind you that Micro$oft owns 15% of SCO? I'd say that it's pretty clear that they're just trying to make SCO a household UNIX. And remember, lots of management droids shudder in fear at the concept of free software, so will likely look more towards SCO than FreeBSD, Linux, Hurd, or other truely free OS's. -- http://www.wp.com/piquan --- Joel Ray Holveck --- joelh@gnu.ai.mit.edu The number you have reached is an imaginary number.
