I agree, it is a concern that my proposed move isn't friendly to SCO users, nor does it promote the use of free software on SCO platforms. The reason for my question is that there have been recent bug reports (admittedly with fixes) for SCO-specific problems. Personally, I don't want to spend any time on fixing such problems, but others may feel differently. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
