   Hello,

The ISC UNIX 386 Release 2.2 now requires you to enter your serial number
and authorization key (Just like SCO) if you want to load the system.  I
personally find this to be a real pain in the tail, but at least they only 
ask you for it once.  It really annoys me when I get asked the the same
information again from SCO when loading the link kit.  If you don't want
a system that requires an authorization key, then you DON'T want to buy
the new 2.2 release from Interactive! Other than that it seems like a 
really nice OS...
