        I would think that SCO did not really wish to get involved in a 
        drawn out suit. It bothers people and especially it bothers 
        investors.
        
        I would suspect that SCO would like to go public one of these 
        days and that it doesn't need a lot of garbage hanging around.
        
        The Lotus suit is still on against Borland. 
        
        I believe SCO would rather try to get along with as many people 
        as possible than get into a fight with them. Professional 
        probably wasn't that great of a deal anyway for them, financially 
        I mean.
