     If you mean remove the option and just let it run, I would agree.
However, if you mean completely desupport SCO I would disagree.  That
would only hurt the people using SCO products.  I am currently
supporting one SCO OpenUNIX box that is supposed to be replaced within
the year with a Windows box (I'm not sure that will be better), but it
doesn't run MIMEDefang.  I hate that box.  It is so primitive that it
is like working with something from the seventies (i.e. if I type, "cp
-pr ...", I get told that '-p' isn't a valid option).

     BTW, I do agree that SCO is most likely dead.  They have taken on
too many large targets.  Even if they were right, the targets could
simply tie them up in court for years and bleed them dry.  SCO is
burning through money very rapidly.
