I was thinking the same thing. I was also wonder what compilier SCO is going to compile there apps packages with? If it going to be compiled with MSC that it's got to go through the 286/386 emulator and that slows things down. At least I notice it. It would be great if SCO offers packages compiled with your choice of compilier. ---Bob -- Bob Palowoda *Home of Fiver BBS* login: bbs Work: {sun,decwrl,pyramid}!megatest!palowoda Home: {sun}ys2!fiver!palowoda (A XBBS System) 2-lines BBS: (415)623-8809 2400/1200 (415)623-8806 1200/2400/9600/19200
