Not any more. We misplaced our development disks a short while ago and I
called SCO to see about getting a replacement set. I was told that as of a
few weeks ago they will no longer replace your media for $50 or whatever it
used to cost. The best they offered me was to sell me a new package at half
price.
I am becoming more and more dis-illusioned with a company I used to recommend
enthusiastically. (If this new policy has been revoked I'd sure like to hear
about it.)
