I have been trying to get a difinitive answer from SCO on this for
about 5 weeks.  A person at SCO, ericd, told me it was possible to
have more than one slip.  It was reiterated by paul@bohdan.  He
supposedly sent a script which let this happen.  The script either
didn't arrive, or got eaten somewhere.  I fired off a request to
support@sco.com but have heard nothing but all the machines at sco
tell me the message was delivered.

Paul, if you are out there, the script didn't arrive. Please send it
again.

SCO, if you are out there, a response, negative or positive, would be
appreciated, besides the return receipt (which I didn't ask for) from
each of the people that get mail under support@sco.com.

Anyone else?

Jim
