I ask this every year, so here's a good time to ask again.  I use
SCO Open Server and for the most part everything developed in this group
has worked, with one key exception.   The programs don't
recognize the NTFS file system.  Since I run both OSR 5.0.6/7 on
this system as well as Win XP Pro, it would be really nice to be able to
move files between my first Windows Drive an my Unix system.

It seems unlikely that this would ever happen but it would be a nice
feature.  I do know that the NTFS file structure is complex and hard
to deal with, but maybe there are enough folks in the same boat to
encourage someone to patch the program to read those files.

Just a thought.
