Do all your managers still drive Corvairs?  At some point they're
going to have to bite the bullet and migrate to a system that's
current and supported.

While we still have a couple of clients still running SCO
OpenServer, those that we haven't migrated to Linux are now
running SCO in VMware virtual machines on top of CentOS Linux.

I have more experience than the average bear building open source
software on SCO systems, and still it has always been a major PITA,
and gets worse all the time as software moves along requiring
newer libraries and system calls.
