I did not see that it is any slower than on SCO. *****SUPER******!!!! I have also been told that the SCO WordPerfect 5.1 for Unix runs OK, even under X! And since WP uses static linking, one does not even have to obtain the SCO shared libraries.... This is *REALLY* super. Linux will really have much greater application when it is able to run the countless SCO applications. I am very excited about this....... Bring on WINE and an improved MS-"DOS" emulator and Linux will be able to be a free software running platform which will be hard to beat! -- /--------------------------------------------------------------------------\\ | Mark A.
