PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT
May 20, 1992 ... The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. (SCO) is now accepting
orders for Release 2.0 of the SCO Open Desktop Development System for
386 and 486 computers based on Industry Standard Architecture (ISA),
Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA), or Micro Channel
Architecture (MCA). Upgrades for users of earlier versions will also
be available. Product and availability information follow:
______________________________________________________________________
PRODUCT NAME: SCO Open Desktop Development System
DESCRIPTION: The SCO Open Desktop Development System is a supplement
to the SCO Open Desktop Personal System or Server System that
provides the ideal foundation for a software development
environment. It includes a rich set of industry-standard Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs), programming toolkits, libraries, and
utilities to help produce networked, graphical UNIX System
applications for distributed computing environments.
Because the SCO Open Desktop Development System is based on
industry, government, and de facto open systems standards, it
protects investments in software, hardware, training, and
development. As a result, applications can be created that run on a
wide range of systems, are portable to a wide range of environments,
interoperate in heterogeneous networks, and are scalable from
desktop to data center.
Release 2.0 of the SCO Open Desktop Development System is an
enhanced version of the SCO Open Desktop Development System.
Specific enhancements have been made to the core SCO UNIX System
development environment, bringing the system to the Version 4.0
level of the SCO UNIX Development System, as well as to the
networking interfaces and programming utilities. Release 2.0
includes shared libraries for both X11R4 and OSF/Motif 1.1, and a
new graphical debugger, dbXtra, for improving C and C++ program
development productivity. The SCO Open Desktop Development System
documentation has also been improved by including more examples to
facilitate applications development.

NOTES:
The SCO Open Desktop Development System Upgrade is primarily
designed to take users of previous SCO Open Desktop Development
System releases to the Release 2.0 level. Each Upgrade consists of
complete media distribution and documentation. The Release 2.0
Upgrade performs an intelligent, in-place upgrade on Release 1.1
systems, or may be used to perform full re-installation of Release
1.0 systems. Users may upgrade their diskette-based systems to
cartridge-tape or CD-ROM distribution at the indicated prices.
Cartridge-tape distribution requires a 3.5" 135tpi or 5.25" 96tpi
floppy disk drive plus QIC-02 or SCSI tape controller and drive
capable of handling 60-Mbyte QIC-24 tape format. To install the
Upgrade, customers must use their previous Activation Keys and
Serial Numbers.
Standalone documentation sets, as well as upgrades to take
existing UNIX System V or SCO XENIX System V users to the SCO Open
Desktop Development System, will also be made available.

Development System Release 2.0 Upgrade, contact the SCO Products
