   I have to admit that I'd never heard of colrm before.  Seems like it
would've saved me a lot of awks and seds in scripting 8)

   To be fair, SCO UNIX isn't really an accurate name for it anymore.  SCO
did briefly offer a product called SCO UNIX which later was morphed into
what deepthought runs -- OpenServer.
   And, actually, with the hacking going on right now, the similarities are
becoming even more vague.
