            I'm hoping someone on the list can help with this. Back in the
    4.x days, we (a university) were able to order a CD with the source code
    for the operating system. In order to do that, we had to get liceses from
    AT&T, SCO, etc as well as DEC/Compaq/etc. Once we had the complete set of
    licenses, we were allowed to order a source CD as often as we wanted
    (there was no update service however, you had to buy a new CD each time
    the OS was updated). I've been trying to get a hold of this for the
    current release, but no one so far will even admit it was ever possible to
    get the source CDs that I have now. I've talked to my sales contacts and
    have not gotten anywhere.

            Does anyone know the new procedure or who to talk to (perhaps at a
    higher level)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Tom
