# SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., 1991 FEB 28 (NB) -- The Santa Cruz
# Operation, the largest supplier of Unix on Intel microprocessors,
# says it will certify that its software runs on AT&T's 80386-based
# computers.
[Text deleted about special test group formed]
# AT&T sells an Intel-based Unix of its own: System V/386. SCO's
# Unix, however, leads the market and includes enhancements not
# included in AT&T's version, such as the Open Desktop user interface
# and a range of device drivers.
Okay, so SCO is verifying that their OS runs on AT&T PC's (and consider
they are basicly just another clone...) And providing support for Open
Desktop.
But the one context of the original message was abourt vendor support
for _binary_ ABI's.. - i.e. What is SCO going to do about ELF?
