No one has delivered anything. If someone wants to do it and contribute it back, fine. This, by the way, is a perfect example of why SVR4 is better than SCO. We have a single binary kit, ~20MB compressed, that works on SVR4 from 7 different vendors. There are NO (none, nada, zip, zero) differences. Not in the server, not in the clients, not in the libraries. And the server (under SVR4.0.4, anyhow) supports local connections from SCO binaries (i.e. I run an SCO binary on my SVR4 box, and it just works). Was someone mentioning "standards"? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- David Wexelblat | dwex@mtgzfs3.att.com | Somebody get me a AT&T Bell Laboratories | ...!att!mtgzfs3!dwex | cheeseburger! 200 Laurel Ave - 4B-421 | | Middletown, NJ 07748 | (908) 957-5871 | --Steve Miller Band
