Hasn't he already settled once with SCO? I read somewhere about SCO buying the license rights to some obscure version of DOS and then suing Microsoft. There was some kind of settlement made.

		Lets see, if memory is serving, Dial is signing an IT

outsourcing deal with EDS. EDS & Oracle are NOT friends. EDS & IBM are. Oracle apps do not run on DB2, SAP does. SAP & EDS are friends. Do we see a connection there??
