You don't have to look that far from home to get flamed on this. Exactly
what is SCO saying that is "misleading the public" ?

Why should SCO relinquish being different when most of their differences
represent added value?  Like Multiscreens, DOS cross development,
CGI, tape drivers, RAM disk, etc., etc..

Unisys sells over 600 copies of SCO Xenix each month.  Compared to the number
of UN*X systems we sell, I'd say the popularity of Xenix goes a long
way in paying your salary.  Be careful about biting the hand that really
feeds you.  It couldn't hurt to spell it right, either.
