As I understand it, "Open Desktop" is SCO's name for the combination of: - X11/Motif - IXI's X.desktop (provides an icon-based user interface) - Ingres (DBMS?) - NFS - A DOS emulator - (Maybe more?) Anyway, at least some of this is already available on 386/ix. I'm using their X11/Motif, and *have* their TCP/IP stuff (hope to be using it soon) - I don't know if they've got NFS. I know they've got a DOS emulator (VP/ix?) [why anyone would want this is left as a puzzle for the reader]. So, I doubt you'll see "Open Desktop" on 386/ix anytime soon. Jeff
