The discussion about what name should be used for the Xenix type Unixen has been rather varied. This will help the sifter find something. I propose comp.unix.sco. If it seems worthwhile, I'll start taking votes for this when I say so, but not right now. Purpose -- Discussion of anything having to do with Santa Cruz Operations which is appropriate for a comp.unix.* group. Rationale -- In my view, SCO currently has a rather popular and unique enough product to call for its own news group. One caveat of this is that standardization with 80286 and 80386 AT&T SysV-derived type Unix OS's will soon make these particular company-specific groups inappropriate. In the future, I would like to see a small reorganization of the groups to reflect such trends as seems appropriate at the instant. However, right now, I'm still seeing quite a few SCO-specific Unix questions being asked.
