Hello all,

I've just received this mail from SCO.  I think it's appropriate to
post here.

Apparently we can expect the Ancient UNIX License available on the
SCO website by Friday (U.S. Pacific Time, I would suspect).  Very
good news indeed!

I'm just back from a training course. I've seen a preview of the web site.
You get to click-thru the license agreement, then you have a set of hyperlinks
to the UNIX versions that SCO owns (5e, 6e, 7e, 32V, SysIII, Mini UNIX).

I'm still trying to work out an access method to the PUPS Archive with them,
but I think we're getting there.

So, you will get access to some UNIX source code soon, but access to the
PUPS Archive might be a week or so longer.

Cheers all!
