The discussion about what name should be used for the Xenix type Unixen
has been rather varied.  This will help the sifter find something.

I propose comp.unix.sco.

If it seems worthwhile, I'll start taking votes for this when I say so,
but not right now.

Purpose --
Discussion of anything having to do with Santa Cruz Operations which is
appropriate for a comp.unix.* group.

Rationale --
In my view, SCO currently has a rather popular and unique enough product
to call for its own news group.  One caveat of this is that standardization
with 80286 and 80386 AT&T SysV-derived type Unix OS's will soon make these
particular company-specific groups inappropriate.  In the future,
I would like to see a small reorganization of the groups to reflect such
trends as seems appropriate at the instant.  However, right now, I'm still
seeing quite a few SCO-specific Unix questions being asked.
