:1. Does SCO UNIX only allow you to login as ROOT on the CONSOLE?
	I can login as root from anywhere, including telnet.
:2. Does SCO UNIX let you do a HALTSYS in 5 seconds and powerdown quick when 
:	thunderstorms approach?
	There are some questions about using haltsys, but "init 0"
	works fast enough to get the job done.
:4. Can SCO UNIX produce mountable floppy file systems edible by both Xenix, 
:and the AT&T/Interactive cabal?  (Obviously, we will be shipping to Xenix 
:clients for a while yet...)
	I compile the ISC flavor of Pro-YAM on SCO now.
	Thank heavens for ln(1).

:5. Does SCO UNIX still have the Custom facility? 
	Yes.
:
:6. Is SCO UNIX really slower once you turn off security?
	Modulo process accounting, the C2 doesn't seem to slow
	things down, just maybe breaks things.
	SCO Unix doesn't seem slow to me (compared to Xenix).
