Well, having worked with it, on it, and around it for the last 6 years, I
can tell you that it's still supported, still being developed and will
still be around for quite sometime to come.  The fact that a Linux company
now has control is only a bonus to SCO.  Might make it a little more easy
to integrate some gnu utils..  Would be more up-to-date then and
useable.  At any rate, OSRV5 is still Compaq's most supported unix.  Same
with a lot of other companies.  That's how I am sitting on 5 SCO OSRV
servers here - shipped to me in Compaq Proliant ML530's...
