That detail got lost several replies back. You should be able to run it on a box that allows >2G/process, but it will probably go funny if it hasn't been tested on those boxes. There's alot of code that breaks when you pass 2G - signed numbers go negative, memory addresses look like error codes, and so on. any latent bugs might be tickled by something like a pointer to 0x80040104
Someone else suggested compiling from source. This works, but you can probably find binaries of bash 2.x as well. SCO also distributes it as part of Skunkware - a bunch of Free software. That may be your best bet; it's available for download or purchase (free while supplies last). Check their website.
In my case, there haven't been any changes since wordpad that warrant incompatibility. Of course, I'm a programmer, and my docs are usually text or html with simple formatting (easy on the eyes). Never mind that anything i write for distribution with software has to be legible on a virgin win98 install.
As i recall, you can configure NT to allow 3GB for apps (you may have to buy the expensive version though), in which case the drivers and kernel get a bit cramped.
in any case, NT should be able to address 64GB of ram, but only map 2GB into any one app.
You have to meet the Unix98 specs. I believe you also have to package a distro and send it off to the Open Group for evaluation (costs $$) before you can call yourself Unix
If you like bash so much, why not build it for SCO? The great thing about bash and many other Unix shells is that they work on just about any Unix variant.
Defending your home is arguably more about self defense than property. If somebody is willing to break into my home with me there, i have to assume the worst. Not being much for a gun, I'd probably use a sword or a bat.
That's why Cali is so cool - the repoman is legally allowed to enter parking lots in search of cars. I suppose he could even call the cops if the security guys pushed it.
Never mind that the Japanese have pretty much cornered the market on office workers working themselves to death. I don't see many American office workers dropping dead at 35 from overwork (thank God).
Well, I know that I'll be a millionaire, just not before i hit 30. Good investment and long term planning can turn $60 - $80k/year into $5M inflation adjusted dollars. It just takes a bit of time.
My understanding is that, while you own the changes, in order to distribute the derivative work, you must make the changes available under the GPL. But you still own the changes.
So, what if you pulled out the GPLed stuff, quoted the stuff from Sony that claimed it to be based on GPLed work, and put together a webpage where it can be freely downloaded?

Sony Violating GPL?

Sorry, no. Sony is obligated to release the source used to create their binary, provided that they actually modified it. Cleaning up spaghetti code results in a different binary.
I think Bill G makes a very good point. You, on the other hand, have your head up your ass. When you have to struggle just to eat, and fresh water is a special treat, computers are a luxury. They don't help you eat.
I remember when Gingrich proposed giving all the home less people in DC laptops. When interviewed, said homeless people actually wanted gasp Jobs and a place to sleep! You two are about as disconnected from reality as Marie Antionette.
I call it Linux (and I call the kernel the Linux Kernel) because GNU/Linux feels about as natural as gargling marbles. Why don't i hear you guys whining about GNU/Solaris or GNU/Irix? They use gnu tools too.
In response to your argument, I would submit that the Mach microKernel is quite a bit smaller than the Linux kernel and does correspondingly less.
What trust? BSD allows you to take the code and release modified versions commercially. This is not a morally bankrupt thing to do. It is what the developers intended. Since you're so pissed off, I suppose you'll be releasing GPLed code?

Where does the majority of american tax payers money go?
Social Security?
Supersonic is pretty hard to do underwater - sound travels much faster there.

Heh, Diuretics make you pee. Dianetics is Hubbards con job, designed to make you a Scientologist and drain your wallet.
You realize that that link is password protected, right?
No really, tell us what you really feel.
So the changes are PD. They're still not much good without the rest of the code.

Well, BSD splits from time to time. This appears to be more a personality/control issue than anything else.

well, there's this inital adjustment period...
