  What happened when you picked the PostScript interface?? What was the
failure mode?

| 2. I'll FAX you a script.

  Bug them again to get the rest of the package.

  I think that's wrong. I don't have a list of the SLS stuff here, but I
think it was either an SLS, or part of update A (to 2.3.3), or something
like that.

|    have a signed contract)

  I've talked to people who say that they got Elan from SCO, I assume
it's the truth. Elan is *mush* faster than the standard stuff, but it
has a few drawbacks. It doesn't include the man pages, and you can take
the output of old troff and run it through thack to get useful
PostScript.
