I see where AT&T and SCO have agreed to ensure compatibility between the newer AT&T WGS's and SCO SV/386 R3.2. Basically the WGS's, StarLAN and other AT&T products will be certified for use with SCO. AT&T is not giving up their own shrink wrapped product, they're just admitting that this other vendor exists and allowing their hardware onto SCO's official list. Just thought you'd like to know.

Where'd you hear that, Tom? I just heard that SVR4 would eventually
support SCO UNIX extensions, including the x.out (I think that's what
he called it) executables.
Do you think that AT&T would loosen up enough to recognize that their
software will run on other folks' hardware?

From an SCO press release dated 2/26/91. For more information call 408-425-7222. For AT&T's side call 201-898-6548.

Separate issue. >Do you think that AT&T would loosen up enough to recognize that their >software will run on other folks' hardware? Unknown. This is the opposite: someone else's software running on AT&T hardware.
