Try developing on the d*mned thing.

Not this time; SCO Pseudnix is getting bashed by more people than just a few
Usenetters.  SCO will get a clue *or* the same thing will happen to them as
happened to IBM in the PC market:  they will be bought only by hard-cores (like
Chip is stuck with) while the rest of the market switches to something else.

True.  We have to deliver product to get money for our paychecks, and SCO
Pseudnix is doing everything it can to make that impossible.  I suspect Chip's
in a similar predicament.  This is supposed to be an *advantage*?
