(Which, unfortunately, are understandable, all things considering.) That may be of some limited interest to them, but I'm not sure what the point would be. Is there any reason to think that SCO gave in to Lotus for any cause other than being "out-lawyered"? Perhaps, if a lot of folks talked to SCO, it might indicate that their estimate of the effect of the decision was low (i.e., that the loss of SCO Pro will cost them more than they thought)...but I'd think they have a good handle on sales and trends, so they shouldn't get much of a surprise. As you say, under the circumstances it's not surprising that SCO decided as they did. The problem lies elsewhere. -- Dick Dunn rcd@ico.isc.com -or- ico!rcd Boulder, CO (303)449-2870 ...Simpler is better.
