Xenix is mature and stable. SCO Unix is brand new. Other than the far-too-much-security of SCO Unix, it offers nothing I can't get for less money elsewhere. -- Chip Salzenberg at ComDev/TCT <chip%tct@ateng.com>, <uunet!ateng!tct!chip> "The Usenet, in a very real sense, does not exist."

On this note, do any of the other Unix'es offer source level debuggers? One of the main reasons SCO Unix is attractive to me is Codeview. If I can somehow get GDB running it won't be an issue, but I don't know the chances of that yet. Some have said, "good luck". -- Jeff Jeff Holmes DOMAIN: jeff@questar.mn.org Questar Data Systems UUCP: amdahl!bungia!questar!jeff St. Paul, MN 55121 AT&T: +1 612 688 0089
