Colleagues:
 
As you move forward in developing business critical applications
for the SCO platforms, you need to know about the latest tools
and technologies available and those which are coming in the
future.  The place to get is this information is the "Gemini
FastTrack" developer conference being hosted by SCO in Santa
Cruz, California this August.  Here are the facts.
 
(1) In April, Intel and eight leading UNIX System vendors
endorsed SCO UnixWare as the "UNIX of choice" for high-volume
enterprise servers.
 
(2) SCO is merging its SCO OpenServer and SCO UnixWare
environments into a common UNIX System offering, code-named
"Gemini," which will support tools and applications for SCO
OpenServer, SCO UnixWare and Hewlett-Packard's HP-UX.
 
(3) Hewlett-Packard is working with SCO and other partners to
deliver a "next-generation" UNIX System implementation that
combines Gemini's features with 64-bit technologies and other
enhancements.
 
We want want you to be prepared to take advantage of these
developments.
 
By attending SCO's Gemini FastTrack program, you'll learn what
you need to move forward, receive the tools you need to get
started, including a copy of SCO UnixWare release 2.1, and a
snapshot of the Gemini SDK/HDK, free.  You'll also become a member of
the "Gemini FastTrack Club," which gets you access to ongoing
software updates, Web site access devoted to Gemini and other
resources.  You'll also hear from and get to question SCO's own
software architects and engineers, to get your most detailed
questions answered.
 
And you'll get all this for only $295, or for no additional cost
if you also attend SCO Forum, the industry's leading gathering
for developers, IS managers and others who depend on the most
complete, up-to-date knowledge about UNIX System technologies,
particularly those from SCO.
 
SCO's Gemini FastTrack will be held August 22 and 23, as an
adjunct to SCO Forum 96, which runs August 18-21.  Both will be
held on the University of California at Santa Cruz campus, and
on-campus housing is available.  But seats at this premiere
developers' event won't be for long, so get your developers and
partners together and registered today!  For more information,
call 1-800/SCO-FORUM (or 800/726-3678), or visit SCO at
http://www3.sco.com/Company/forum96/ on the World Wide Web.
