Better get a good fan if you intend to run 24 hours-PC's limited have heat 
problems.

I have a patched netnews-SCO passed SVID and doesn't have a real LOCKF
call-a few bugs, and I haven't tried it full scale due to a horrible
disk space crunch.

The new release has a larger set of utilities 
(cut paste, and the like) I have a whole bunch of minor-league utilities
in usr/local (like dir, a one liner: lf) to ease my transitions between
Xenix, and dos....  There is better support for EGA-as I can't afford
EGA I can't tell you about it. I'm told that SCO Professional supports
EGA graphics now....

All this stuff (save for SCO V.2.2) is available from:
