Well, then, a generic SVR4 port wouldn't help you, because SCO's UNIX is
based on SVR3, not SVR4, from everything I've heard; unless SCO has
added SVR4-style pseudo-ttys (which are rather different from BSD-style
pseudo-ttys), and has added an SVR4-style "-ldl" library, there're going
to be things in the SVR4 port that won't work worth a damn under SCO
UNIX.

Besides, ATK 5.1 *already* appears to include SCO UNIX support, and, as
far as I know, SCO ODT is basically SCO UNIX + SCO's X11 implementation
(the impression I have is that SCO UNIX : SCO ODT :: SunOS :: Solaris - 
i.e., the latter, in both cases, is the former plus a window system; and
yes, even Solaris 2.x includes SunOS, SunOS 5.x to be specific).
