I would like to obtain the patches.  

I would also very much like to obtain the changes
that you make to configure X11R4 for SCO (the config/SCOunix.cf file, 
config/Imake.tmpl, config/imakemdep.h, config/site.def, etc.).
Would you mail me the configuration files directly?  (Shar format or straight 
copies would be wonderful).

I'm interested too.

Can't help with BBS.  I can help with admin. call evenings, Pacific Standard
Time.

I'm very interested in these, too.  Actually it would be really neat if
someone would archive the binaries for SCO.  I don't mind building some
software, but I'm doing X development on a Toshiba with 100M of disk. :-}
