# SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., 1991 FEB 28 (NB) -- The Santa Cruz 
# Operation, the largest supplier of Unix on Intel microprocessors, 
# says it will certify that its software runs on AT&T's 80386-based 
# computers.
[Text deleted about special test group formed]
# AT&T sells an Intel-based Unix of its own: System V/386.  SCO's 
# Unix, however, leads the market and includes enhancements not 
# included in AT&T's version, such as the Open Desktop user interface 
# and a range of device drivers.

Okay, so SCO is verifying that their OS runs on AT&T PC's (and consider
they are basicly just another clone...) And providing support for Open
Desktop.

But the one context of  the original message was abourt vendor support
for _binary_ ABI's.. - i.e. What is SCO going to do about ELF?
