     No problem.  Apart from the stuff about DR-DOS, it was from memory
anyways.

     I see that I left out a couple of important points.  Novell clains
that they still own the copyrights and that they just sold licencing
rights to SCO.  This is a point of contention in the law suits.  Also,
Novell donated the UNIX trademark to an European standards group
called, The OpenGroup.  This is a good thing since it means that The
SCO Group doesn't get to decide who is or isn't allowed to call their
OS UNIX.  But, rather an impartial third party does, which keeps
politics out of the trademark usage rights.
