Tell the world what the source of your information is, and we'll all
know who not to ask or believe.

I downloaded < lng244 > to correct some incremental loader (ldr) problems
I was having on the purchased Development System (from SCO) 2.3.0, but
the letter with < lng244 > warned about *NOT* applying that update on
the Development System that was *NOT* 2.3.1.  A simple call to the SCO
"media" department got for me not only the Development System 2.3.1, but
also their CGI update from 1.0.1 to 1.1.0d, all within one week, NO
CHARGE -- not even the phone call, which was answered *immediately*!

Why don't you, and all other non-believers in SCO, give *them* a call
(800) 347-4381, and you might find them to actually be very helpful.
( BTW, SCO's current most recent release of the Development System for
SCO-Xenix is 2.3.1d! )
