I saw some OS/2 installations, some Novell Networks 3.x and some SCO ODT installations in the university network labs. I did not have chances to play with them. I only got some hours to use the old PC XT/AT (DOS), MicroVAX (VMS), Honeywell DSP8 (GCOS). China at that time was not as advanced as now in IT and that was partially why I was not good at programming. ;-) The main reason was that I did not see the need to do much programming until now. The majority of SCO of that era (called Santa Cruz Operation) was bought over by Caldera (one of the Linux pioneer). The other part is now a division of SUN. Caldera changed the name to SCO group and scaped their Linux business and focus on the SCO Unix product. Then the whole saga of SCO against IBM started. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCO_Group http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Cruz_Operation Xiaofan -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
