Just wondering, do SCO Merge and WABI come with Free SCO OpenServer? Or
are they something that have to be purchased separately?

The code for both is on the CD-ROM, but the licenses are not included.Quote:Mark J. Rosen writes:

You can get Merge for just slightly more than the cost of a brand-new
Pentium with W*nd*ws, which can read your SCO file system using the free
PC-Interface (serial) or 1-user Advanced File and Print Server (ethernet).
I guess when Microsoft is one of your stockholders you don't give away
DOS.

Umm, Merge is not DOS. Merge is a sophisticated emulator. It is made byQuote:> I guess when Microsoft is one of your stockholders you don't give away

Interesting. I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that WabiQuote:>that WABI would not survive in the merged product.
I wonder if some other OEM (or Sunsoft itself) might make Wabi available
for Gemini. After all, Wabi itself isn't going away, just SCO's OEMing
of it.
Conceptually, IMO Wabi is a better technology than Merge; but will they
ever pull it off right?

I use Word via WABI under SCO UNIX. Works great. I treat it like I treat
any other UNIX app.
I've worked for a lot a companies that would *love* for their UNIX people
to be able to run Word and Excel. It seems to me that SCO et al should
be pushing WABI *hard* (even for those two apps alone).

In response to my earlier comment:

Can anyone help me? I have to Free Sco and I need to know how/where to
get the license for these two apps that come with it, Wabi and Merge. Are
the licenses somewhere on the CD? I have the main license from the web
page but could not see any other ones there. What am I missing?
