Yes this is correct John in fact we did the actual port of the Xsight code for the SCO kernel in 2.3.x and 3.2. SCO is great at not making very visible third party logos and such in their advertisement (Oh, they're there if you get out the magnifying glass :-}!), witness their advertise- ment of OpenDesktop, you'd think it was all SCO's work where it is really a merged effort of SCO, DEC, Ingres, Locus, and perhaps one other company which slips my mind at the moment. We provide both the X and Merge parts of the package. On the subject of X, there are only really three X server ports of any consequence for the i386 families of Unix, Locus' which is licensed by both SCO and Bell, Interactive's, and IBM's AIX server. The AIX port was actually done by IBM's own internal development in a couple of locations. (Yes I am aware of Enix or whatever it is called these days, but it is so pathetic that I don't include it :-} ). Disclaimer: these are my opinions, not necessarily Locus'. -- Jack F.
