I think you are missing something fundamental: you don't put Open DeskTop on top of [Intel|IBM|Altos] Xenix, you replace it with Open DeskTop. Open DeskTop is a complete graphical OS environment. You don't need any other operating system, it is contained within Open DeskTop. -- Roger Knopf SCO Consulting Services uunet!sco!rogerk or rogerk@sco.com "...and he's got bare feet, too." 408-425-7222 (voice) 408-458-4227 (fax) --Charley Watkins
