Despite the popular opinion, there are good things in UnixWare's SVR4.2
kernel. I wonder if SCO will go the way of the dodo. And, if so, what
could happen to SVR4. I get update messages from SCO (I was a happy user
of UnixWare when it had ideas of being a Desktop OS), but they seldom
reference new things for UnixWare. There was some mention of running it
in VMWare. I am guessing that is to support legacy apps. The hardware
UnixWare runs on is getting long in the tooth. Of course, the new things
for OpenServer can be counted on one hand.
