This is kind of strange, because last week at UniForum, SCO said
they weren't going to be releasing LM/X until March.  I have in
front of me a product overview and technical background paper for
LM/X that is dated Dec 1990, but also says it is preliminary
information.

If LM/X is coming from SCO it looks like you will have to wait
another month.  If LM/X is coming from HP and just being resold by
SCO, then maybe it is available.

Could someone from SCO and/or HP comment?
