Indeed, and at that time Caldera, aka newSCO, already had a Linux
distribution!! Somewhere I have a copy of Caldera OpenLinux 1.1, which
was part developed (from vague memory) with Lasermoon (based in Fareham)
and was aiming to become a standards compliant Linux (i.e. Posix.1, SPG4
X/Open and probably others). How times change!
