FW: SCO Foxpro 2.6 for Unix

[Net Llama!]

Err...last I checked, this was neither a SCO or a UNIX mailing list.
Hell, its not even a BSD list.

FWIW, whoever this Dennis Allen guy is, it doesn't sound like he has the
first clue of what he's doing.  What do SCO mouse drivers have to do with
Linux, if SCO Foxpro (and i can't even fatham why anyone would want to use
that flaming POS) supposedly runs on a linux kernel?  Also, xterm doesn't
have a mouse protocl, X has a mouse protocol.
