	My understanding of the matter is that SCO will be using the OSF/1
base. The reference port for OSF/1 for the MIPS platform is the DEC port,
and it's my understanding that the original SCO offering will be, basically
the DEC port. It *WILL* be OSF/1 - DEC's strategy has not changed - the
decision of what to *CALL* it is in SCO's hands, however, so it will most
likely be sold as SCO/Open Desktop.
