Digital Review of 15 April '91 reported that DEC had outsourced Unix
development to SCO.  The article says DEC "has canceled its plans to
develop its own OSF/1-based Unix operating system, provided all of its
OSF/1 source code to The Santa Cruz Operation and announced that it
will license an OSF/1 operating system from SCO as its future Unix
system."  No details about how much Mach will be in SCO's OSF, how
this effort will affect the OSF standard or whether OSF plans to
upgrade to Mach 3.0 in OSF/2.
