As a product. But as a test I think there have been 64-bit versions in
the UnixWare ilk. But as SCO no longer seem to make software, I agree
that they do not have it - and probably never will. There has not been a
new release of UnixWare in a very long time. And it isn't a matter of '
'if it ain't broke don't fix it'.
