I'm thinking of getting the cscope source license from AT&T for $400.00 for FreeBSD hacking. All cc's have bugs but ccs' optimizations are faster and more reliable than the gnu stuff. Apparently, the next revision of UnixWare will have a CDE desktop and an optional "Explorer-like" browser desktop. Regards, Mike Hancock
