Once you get their attention, they do actually respond ;-). My system faults mega-pages a day, and executes kilo-commands, far from collecting dust (see why a page fault bug might urk me?). I now have 2.2.1j running, and other than shutting it down to play flight simulator, it works just fine. SCO still needs to work on the simple questions that reading a manual would cure (so why don't the technical support people at SCO read the manuals? - I have a great example of this, but then I've relayed it to SCO already) Now only time will tell if my box can run for 25+ days. Aside note, the longest I've kept a Unix System running on one boot was about 50 days. Anyone got any long stories? - John. -- John F. Haugh II SNAIL: HECI Exploration Co. Inc.
