This is not nice!

I would have thought more of SCO 'marketing' folks had I not read the above 
note.

We, too, have several mono VGA's waiting here for functionality.  I just
assumed it was just a matter of time, not policy, before the fix was made
available.

I can certainly understand that somewhere along the way the line is drawn as
far as enhancements go with Xenix, but this is a product deficiency that needs 
to be resolved before the curtain can be drawn.

I hope marketing at SCO will not fall victim to buraucratic bungling just to 
make a point and release this fix to those who request it.
