designers might shy away from this reference guide's obviously technical slant--but they shouldn't. For those who want (or need) to go beyond basic HTML, authors Spainhour and Eckstein offer a thorough, clear, and accessible reference that covers everything from special characters and Cascading Style Sheets to XML, CGI, and JavaScript. Other guides can show you 'how to' but this is the one reference book that calls up the specifics, whatever the technology." --"Critique Magazine," February 2000 "On today's wired campuses, students are well positioned to become self-taught webmasters, picking up skills as needed on any available equipment. And web building skills have become a key resource for academic or community projects--not to mention a handy source of employment. The new edition of O'Reilly's 'Webmaster in a Nutshell' by Stephen Spainhour and Robert Eckstein is densely packed with pointers and references for almost every technology a web developer uses: HTML, CSS, XML, JavaScript, CGI/Perl, PHP, HTTP, and Apache. Although the book won't hand-hold you through the basics, it's an excellent resource for the ambitious student."--CNET, Back to School Feature, August 1999 "'Webmaster in a Nutshell' by Stephan Spainhour and Robert Eckstein answers all those geeky questions like server configuration settings, all the valid attributes of an HTML tag, configuring Apache for server side includes, and so on. Even if you aren't planning to actually deal with these arcane issues, it can be handy to know what exactly all of those 505 hits really mean in your web stat report. Or to be able to ask pertinent questions of the hosting services you're considering, to make certain they know what they're doing. If you are handling the maintenance in-house or are having meetings about dynamic options and e-commerce on Apache servers, you would do well to add 'Webmaster in a Nutshell' to your essential web reference shelf." --Carolyne Cooper, "Elements of Web Style," January 2001 Additional Resources: "Webmaster in a Nutshell, Third Edition" is also available on the O'Reilly Network Safari Bookshelf, see: http://safari.oreilly.com/ Chapter 18, "Apache Configuration," is available free online at: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/webmaster3/chapter/index.html For more information about the book, including Table of Contents, index, author bios, and samples, see: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/webmaster3/ For a cover graphic in JPEG format, go to: ftp://ftp.ora.com/pub/graphics/book_covers/hi-res/0596003579.jpg Webmaster in a Nutshell, Third Edition Stephen Spainhour and Robert Eckstein ISBN 0-596-00357-9, 561 pages, $34.95 (US), $54.95 (CAN), 24.95 (UK) order@oreilly.com 1-800-998-9938 1-707-827-7000 http://www.oreilly.com About O'Reilly O'Reilly & Associates is the premier information source for leading-edge computer technologies.

From: Kathryn Barrett <kathrynb@oreilly.com> Subject: "Using Samba, Second Edition" Released by O'Reilly Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2003 20:53:09 GMT The One Source Solution for File and Print Serving on Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X O'Reilly Releases "Using Samba, Second Edition" Sebastopol, CA--Samba is a cross-platform triumph: an extremely useful networking tool for anyone who has both Windows and Unix systems running on the same network, which includes just about everyone these days. Running on a Unix system, Samba allows Windows to share files and printers on the Unix host, and it also allows Unix users to access resources shared by the Windows systems. Robust, flexible, fast, and secure, it's no wonder that many people choose Samba over Windows NT/2000/XP for their file and print services. Samba is also free software. "Using Samba, Second Edition" by Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown (O'Reilly, US $39.95) will help readers make their file and print sharing as powerful and efficient as possible. This book, which has been officially adopted by the Samba Team and is under the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL), is a comprehensive guide to Samba administration. This new edition focuses on Samba 2.2 and covers the most important features of 3.0, which was under development as this book went to print. "Samba is the main tool being used for connecting Windows and Unix systems," explains coauthor Jay Ts. "In addition, it's becoming a good tool for connecting Unix systems to other Unix systems. I expect Samba to continue to become more popular as more organizations learn how useful it is. It's fast and has a better security model than NFS. Considering that Samba now comes with Mac OS X, the result of all this is that Samba is becoming a 'one source' solution for networking all three of the major operating systems that will be in use a few years from now, that is, Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows." "Using Samba" takes readers from basic installation and configuration--on both the client and server side, for a wide range of systems--through the subtle details of security, cross-platform compatibility, and resource discovery that make the difference between whether users see the folder they expect to see or find themselves facing a cryptic error message. The authors delve into the internals of the Windows activities and protocols to an unprecedented degree, explaining the strengths and weaknesses of each feature in Windows domains and in Samba itself. Wondering how to integrate Samba's authentication with that of a Windows PDC? How to get Samba to serve Microsoft Dfs shares? How to share files on Mac OS X? These and a dozen other issues of interest to system administrators are covered. An entire chapter is dedicated to troubleshooting. Anyone who manages a network that has both Unix (including Mac OS X) and Windows systems will want a copy of "Using Samba, Second Edition." It includes everything needed to run Samba--from basic installation to advanced topics in security, troubleshooting, and special environments. What the critics said about the first edition: "This is the book Samba users have been waiting for. It's also perfect for Windows users looking to install a cheap, robust, Linux server."--Steve Patient, amazon.co.uk "'Using Samba' is a very well written guide book which covers everything from the most basic concepts of installing the file and print server to security issues to name resolution...Invaluable as a technical resource for Samba, the book also gives great insight for novices into beginning networks and how they work together." --Wes Ritchey, The Internet-Eye, February 2001 "Brilliant." --Richard Ibbotson, Sheffield Linux User's Group, February 2001 "A wonderful book, but I've come to expect that from O'Reilly." --Tom Boyer, DGFocus, July 2000 "...a comprehensive guide to Samba administration whether you're playing on one note or a full three-octave range, this book will help you maintain an efficient and secure server." --Linux Central, March 2000 "The authors have a clear, clean style (as you'd expect from O'Reilly) and take a common-sense, practical approach to various issues such as security and configuration. The authors also focus on additional Samba utilities like smbclient and smbmount, which are useful for troubleshooting. The real gem of this book is chapter nine, the troubleshooting tree. If you're stuck with weird behavior and you have a deadline to meet, this chapter alone may be well worth the cover price...If you know you need Samba and want some help setting it up and configuring it, this is your book. If you're curious about what Samba can do for your network, flip through the first chapter and rest assured that this book will help you get things under control."--chromatic, slashdot.org, November 1999 Additional Resources: Chapter 7, "Name Resolution and Browsing," is available free online at: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba2/chapter/index.html For more information about the book, including Table of Contents, index, author bios, and samples, see: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba2/ For a cover graphic in JPEG format, go to: ftp://ftp.ora.com/pub/graphics/book_covers/hi-res/0596002564.jpg Using Samba, Second Edition Jay Ts, Robert Eckstein, and David Collier-Brown ISBN 0-596-00256-4, 539 pages, $39.95 (US), $61.95 (CAN), 28.50 (UK) order@oreilly.com 1-800-998-9938 1-707-827-7000 http://www.oreilly.com About O'Reilly O'Reilly & Associates is the premier information source for leading-edge computer technologies.

From: "D. Thomas Podnar" <tom@microlite.com> Subject: Microlite BackupEDGE SS Now Supports OpenServer 5.0.7, UnixWare 7.1.3 Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2003 20:50:16 GMT Microlite Corporation NEWS RELEASE 2315 Mill Street For Immediate Release Aliquippa PA 15001-2228 Tel: 724-375-6711 Fax: 724-375-6908 Contact: Lois Podnar (Lois.Podnar@microlite.com) 888-257-3343 Microlite Announces Full Backup and Disaster Recovery Support for SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 ALIQUIPPA, PA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 24, 2003--Microlite Corporation today announced that its BackupEDGE SS backup and disaster recovery software has been enhanced to provide support for the latest release of the OpenServer 5 operating system from The SCO Group. "We've worked very closely with The SCO Group during the development phase of OpenServer 5.0.7." said Tom Podnar, president of Microlite Corporation. "5.0.7 enables the use of many newer storage technologies. Our new release uses these capabilities to reduce the total cost of ownership of an OpenServer 5 system." "SCO OpenServer systems are synonymous with the stability, reliability and cost effectiveness that businesses around the world depend on," said Jeff Hunsaker, SCO GM/VP of Americas. "BackupEDGE SS on SCO OpenServer provides IT professionals with an industry leading backup and disaster recovery solution to safeguard their systems' data. In the case of a disaster, Microlite's reliable data archiving software will make system recovery simple and complete." Under OpenServer 5.0.7, BackupEDGE SS enables the use of the latest generation of inexpensive ATAPI and USB 2.0 CD and DVD writers as archiving and disaster recovery devices. Of course, traditional SCSI tape drives are also supported. There are five types of DVD media currently used for archiving data; DVD-RAM, DVD-RW and DVD+RW for re-writable backups, and DVD-R and DVD+R for write once, permanent archives. All are supported by BackupEDGE SS. With BackupEDGE SS, a DVD combo device can replace both the tape drive and the CDROM drive on many systems, providing cost, space, and power savings. Using software data compression, these devices can store up to 9GB of data on a 4.7GB single-sided re-writeable or write-once DVD disc for less than a dollar per gigabyte. The random access capabilities of optical media combine with the BackupEDGE SS indexing system to allow access to any file on a DVD or CD archive in less than a second. DVD+RW and DVD-RW media are rated for approximately 1,000 re-writes, while DVD-RAM is rated for over 100,000. This provides additional savings over tape when larger storage capacities are not required. Backup speeds of 9.6GB/hr to 12GB/hr for the current generation of re-writable media, and up to 18GB/hour for write-once media, are more than comparable to tape devices costing hundreds more. BackupEDGE SS also includes the RecoverEDGE bare metal disaster recovery system. With this system, users can create emergency boot media specific to each system on DVD, CD, or floppy diskette. Under 5.0.7, floppy diskettes can be created as 1.44 or 1.68MB. In the event of a data disaster, the user can simply resolve the problem, boot from their RecoverEDGE media, and restore their system from their last backup. Microlite also pioneered the creation of BootableBackups(tm) for UNIX and Linux systems. With BootableBackups, each full system backup can be set up to boot directly into disaster recovery mode, providing maximum data security by completely eliminating the possibility that your emergency boot media will be filed away or lost when you need it most. BootableBackups are supported on CD, DVD, and even tape backups. Bootable tape backups work with any tape drive containing either the OBDR(tm) or DRTape(tm) boot capabilities. Availability BackupEDGE SS release 01.02.04 will be available this week worldwide from UNIX and Linux resellers and value-added distributors. This release also adds support for UnixWare 7.1.3. Prices start at $90.00(US) for personal or non-commercial use and $300.00 for commercial licenses. Evaluation copies may also be downloaded from the Microlite Corporation web site at http://www.microlite.com.

Current versions of GCC can't build COFF objects, and OpenServer device drivers must be in COFF format. If you already have the 5.0.7 operating system and 5.0.5 development system, why don't you try it? I haven't tried, so I'm not sure, but I think it would partly work. I think it would be fine for compiling device drivers. User-level programs might be more trouble since both the 5.0.5 linking libraries and the 5.0.7 runtime libraries would be involved at compile time, and they might clash.

From: Kathryn Barrett <kathrynb@oreilly.com> Subject: "Linux Server Hacks" Released by O'Reilly Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2003 08:32:13 GMT Industrial-Strength Tips & Tools from Linux Experts O'Reilly Releases "Linux Server Hacks" Sebastopol, CA--Once relegated to a lonely back room, the Linux server has earned its place in the enterprise. No longer an eccentric whim, it is now a high performance system for routing large amounts of information through a network connection. The job of the Linux system administrator is to pull all the power and performance out of it that's possible, while not getting lost in the details of administrative tasks. For help with this task, there's basic documentation online, but there is much beyond the basics that a competent system administrator needs to know. The best source for this type of knowledge is from people who have hands-on, real-world experience--people who have worked through the same challenges and found efficient solutions. This is the kind of "know-how" that can be found in "Linux Server Hacks" by Rob Flickenger (O'Reilly, US $24.95). "Linux Server Hacks" is a collection of industrial-strength, real-world, tested solutions to practical problems. The book contains one hundred independent but related tips, tools, and scripts that solve common but frequently difficult administrative tasks. Some of the hacks are subtle, many of them are non-obvious, and all of them demonstrate the power and flexibility of a Linux system. The book offers hacks devoted to tuning the Linux kernel to make one's system run more efficiently, as well as using CVS or RCS to track the revision to system files. There are hacks covering alternate ways of doing backups, using the system monitoring tools to track system performance, and a variety of secure networking solutions. "Linux Server Hacks" also includes tips on managing large-scale web installations running Apache, MySQL, and other open source tools that are typically part of a Linux system. Every hack can be read in just a few minutes, but will save hours of searching for the right answer. "This book is for administrators who use Linux every day, and want to use their systems more effectively," explains Flickenger. "While it contains one hundred directly applicable hacks that solve common but frequently difficult tasks, 'Linux Server Hacks' is also intended to convey a particular methodology to be used when solving technical problems. When properly applied, Linux becomes a powerful and expressive medium in which to create elegant solutions to common problems, all while being educational and even entertaining along the way. This methodology is the hacker's attitude, and is the spirit which drives Linux as a living, evolving solution to technical problems." Written by experts for intelligent, advanced users, O'Reilly's new Hacks Series have begun to reclaim the term "hacking" for the good guys. In recent years the term "hacker" has come to be associated with those nefarious black hats who break into other people's computers to snoop, steal information, or disrupt internet traffic. But the term originally had a much more benign meaning, and you'll still hear it used this way whenever developers get together. Our new Hacks Series is written in the spirit of true hackers--the people who drive innovation. Hacking is "an appropriate application of ingenuity...whether the result is a quick-and-dirty patchwork job or a carefully crafted work of art, you have to admire the cleverness that went into it." --Eric S. Raymond, "New Hacker's Dictionary" Additional Resources: Complete information about O'Reilly's new Hacks Series can be found at: http://hacks.oreilly.com/ The article, "How to Become a Hacker," by Eric S.

From: Kathryn Barrett <kathrynb@oreilly.com> Subject: "Unix CD Bookshelf, Version 3.0" Released by O'Reilly Date: Sat, 21 Jun 2003 18:57:31 GMT Who Says You Can't Take it with You? O'Reilly Releases "Unix CD Bookshelf, Version 3.0" Sebastopol, CA--If you've heard the phrase, "You can't take it with you," you may have thought, sadly, that it referred to your trusted shelf of O'Reilly Unix books. Thorough, reliable, and all-encompassing, these books are unfortunately not especially portable en masse--unless, of course, you have a copy of the "Unix CD Bookshelf, Version 3.0" (O'Reilly, US $129.95). The "Unix CD Bookshelf" keeps all the books that Unix users have come to rely on right at their fingertips, wherever they may go. The newly released Version 3.0 provides convenient online access to seven indispensable books: -"Unix Power Tools, 3rd Edition" -"Learning the Unix Operating System, 5th Edition" -"Learning the vi Editor, 6th Edition" -"Mac OS X for Unix Geeks" -"Learning the Korn Shell, 2nd Edition" -"sed & awk, 2nd Edition" -"Unix in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition" The CD has a master index for all seven books and a powerful search engine--with all the text extensively hyper-linked--so users can find what they're looking for quickly. Packaged with the hard copy of "Unix in a Nutshell, Third Edition," it takes up less than two inches of bookshelf space. If you're on the run, you can just grab the CD and go. The seven books included on the CD--well over 3,000 pages of useful O'Reilly reference and tutorials--if purchased separately, would cost more than $330 (US), but the "Unix CD Bookshelf, Version 3.0" retails for only $129.95. The "Unix CD Bookshelf" packs a stack of essential Unix books into one comprehensive, immensely convenient, and portable small package. Next time they say that you can't take it with you, you'll know better. Praise for the previous edition: "While the static pages of these books are exceedingly valuable, the true power of The Bookshelf is unleashed with the included search facility, which makes every book searchable, allowing users to quickly mine information from some of O'Reilly's top titles. Want to know how to copy files using tar? Merely enter tar and copy into the convenient index page, and the article,'Copying Directory Trees with tar' from 'Unix Power Tools,' pops up. As if the collective texts of these invaluable books coupled with a search facility was not enough, a print copy of 'Unix in a Nutshell' is also included. The 'Unix CD Bookshelf' is a must for any Unix beginner who hasn't been previously exposed to the usefulness of these wonderful books. It makes for a verbose yet portable Unix desk reference that will surely save Unix users hours of time. At $69.95, it is also a bargain compared to the aggregate price of the individual titles."--Derek Vadala, Linux Journal, April 27, 2000 "I was very impressed with the quality of the product and would recommend it for all Linux users as the information is also relevant in Linux."--Steve Coe, Canada Computers, December 2000 "It really goes without saying that this bookshelf collection will be most useful to the internet technician." --C.C. Dolliway, Software World, December 2000 "Elegant...on my list of Unix training essentials." --David Evnull, PC Pro, June 1999 "A collection of six classic O'Reilly works, (that every Unix geek probably has propped next to the Coke machine) on a single CD. Hats off to the editors in Sebastopol, CA." --Mark Hall, Performance Computing, February 1999 Additional Resources For more information about the book, including Table of Contents, index, and samples, see: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/unixcdbs3/ For a cover graphic in JPEG format, go to: ftp://ftp.ora.com/pub/graphics/book_covers/hi-res/0596003927.jpg Unix CD Bookshelf, Version 3.0 O'Reilly & Associates ISBN 0-596-00392-7, 614 pages, $129.95 (US), $201.95 (CAN), 92.50 (UK) order@oreilly.com 1-800-998-9938 1-707-827-7000 http://www.oreilly.com About O'Reilly O'Reilly & Associates is the premier information source for leading-edge computer technologies.

From: Kathryn Barrett <kathrynb@oreilly.com> Subject: "sendmail, Third Edition" Released by O'Reilly Date: Sat, 21 Jun 2003 18:46:13 GMT The "Bat Book" Returns, Bringing New Help for sendmail Administrators O'Reilly Releases "sendmail, Third Edition" Sebastopol, CA--Reliable, flexible, and configurable enough to solve the mail routing needs of any web site, sendmail has withstood the test of time. In the process, however, it has achieved what many sendmail administrators would argue was impossible: it has grown even more complex. Even the most experienced system administrators have found it challenging to configure and difficult to understand; its configuration file has been called positively frightening. For help in unraveling its intricacies, sendmail administrators have turned unanimously to one reliable source--the bat book, or "sendmail" by Bryan Costales and the creator of sendmail, Eric Allman (O'Reilly, US $59.95). Now in its third edition, this best-selling reference will help readers master the most demanding version of sendmail yet. The new edition of "sendmail" has been completely revised to cover sendmail 8.12. "Version 8.12 has more features, options, and fundamental changes than any other release has," explains Costales. "To understand all that is new, and how valuable these new things are, the sendmail administrator will need a reference like this." The third edition represents a massive rewrite of this respected reference. "This edition omits the tutorial that the prior two editions had," notes Costales. "This was done because sendmail has moved away from a human-editable configuration file and towards a macro-based configuration. The old tutorial parts have been folded into the relevant reference chapters so that a gentle startup is still possible." "sendmail, Third Edition" begins by guiding the reader through the building and installation of sendmail and its companion programs, such as vacation and makemap. These additional programs are pivotal to sendmail's daily operation. Next, the book covers the day-to-day administration of sendmail. This section includes two entirely new chapters, "Performance Tuning" to make mail delivery as efficient as possible, and "Handling Spam" to deal with sendmail's rich anti-spam features. The next section of "sendmail" tackles the sendmail configuration file and debugging. And finally, the book wraps up with five appendices that provide more detail about sendmail than readers may ever need. Altogether, versions 8.10 through 8.12 include dozens of new features, options, and macros, and this greatly expanded edition thoroughly addresses each, and provides an advance look at sendmail version 8.13 (expected to be released in 2003). With "sendmail, Third Edition" in hand, the sendmail nightmare is over. Readers can confidently configure this challenging but necessary utility for whatever their systems require. This much anticipated revision is essential reading for anyone facing the task of administering sendmail. Praise for the previous edition: "This is the sendmail 'Bible.'" --Peter Collinson, Server/Workstation Expert, July 2001 "I recommend studying or acquiring the excellent O'Reilly & Associates book, 'sendmail' (also known as the 'bat book')." --Adam Thornton, Technical Support, March 2001 "Its the 'Bible' for sendmail, written by the man himself, Eric Allman. If you are configuring sendmail, and you don't have this book, you are a far braver human than I."--Michael Schwager, Sys Admin, March 1999 "Amazon.com's Bestselling Title of 1998 in the Category of Email Applications" "The definitive tome about sendmail." --Ben Rothke, "Enterprise Systems Journal," June 1998 Additional Resources: Chapter 2, "Build and Install sendmail," may be read free online at: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/sendmail3/chapter/index.html For more information about the book, including Table of Contents, index, author bios, and samples, see: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/sendmail3/ For a cover graphic in JPEG format, go to: ftp://ftp.ora.com/pub/graphics/book_covers/hi-res/1565928393.jpg sendmail, Third Edition Bryan Costales with Eric Allman ISBN 1-56592-839-3, 1205 pages, $59.95 (US), $92.95 (CAN), 42.50 (UK) order@oreilly.com 1-800-998-9938 1-707-827-7000 http://www.oreilly.com About O'Reilly O'Reilly & Associates is the premier information source for leading-edge computer technologies.

From: Kathryn Barrett <kathrynb@oreilly.com> Subject: "Practical mod_perl" Released by O'Reilly Date: Sat, 21 Jun 2003 18:40:15 GMT New Book Offers a Wealth of Knowledge from the mod_perl Community O'Reilly Releases "Practical mod_perl" Sebastopol, CA--Web developers and administrators know that the speed of a web server often has very little to do with the server itself. If a site is slow, it's invariably caused by back-end applications like CGI scripts that take longer than they should to run. mod_perl is an Apache server module that provides huge performance benefits for Perl-based CGI scripts. By switching to mod_perl, web programmers and administrators see immediate improvements in efficiency. But optimizing its performance can be tricky. While mod_perl is fairly easy to install and run, tweaking mod_perl and Apache for the best performance and reliability is more difficult. "Practical mod_perl" by Stas Bekman and Eric Cholet (O'Reilly, US $49.95) is the definitive book about building mod_perl, using it, programming with it, and optimizing it. In "Practical mod_perl" new users will learn how to quickly and easily get mod_perl compiled and installed. But the primary purpose of the book is to show Perl web developers and administrators how to take full advantage of mod_perl: how to make a mod_perl-enabled web site as fast, flexible, and easily-maintainable as possible. The authors draw from their own personal experience in the field, as well as the combined experience of the mod_perl community, to present a rich and complete picture of how to set up and maintain a successful mod_perl site. Coauthor Bekman explains that many books are based on the knowledge and expertise of a single person, but "Practical mod_perl" is based on the expertise of the huge community, which encompasses much more than a single person could gain from experience and observation. "This book comprises the knowledge base of the mod_perl community collected over the last five years, combined with the authors' personal experience in the field," Bekman says. "Therefore, it answers almost any questions that mod_perl users have asked over these years." Coauthor Cholet adds, "Most technical books are focused on a technology: many books about web application development will teach the reader how to program using a particular set of tools. We feel that writing and maintaining a web site is much more than that. Our book aims to include all aspects of development and maintenance." Readers will find thorough discussions about the Perl programming language, Apache's Perl API, and scripts that run under Apache::Registry. The book covers the following topics, and more: -Configuring mod_perl optimally for your web site -Porting and optimizing programs for a mod_perl environment -Performance tuning: getting the very fastest performance from your site -Controlling and monitoring the server to circumvent crashes and clogs -Integrating with databases efficiently and painlessly -Debugging tips and tricks -Maximizing security Written for Perl web developers and web administrators, "Practical mod_perl" is an extensive guide to the nuts and bolts of this popular module. From writing and debugging scripts to keeping a server running without failures, the techniques in this book will help readers squeeze every ounce of power out of their servers.

AND UNIXWARE. Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement Confirms Copyright Ownership LINDON, Utah-June 6, 2003-The SCO. Group (SCO) (Nasdaq: SCOX), the owner of the UNIX. operating system, today confirmed its previously stated ownership of UNIX copyrights. As SCO has consistently maintained, all rights to the UNIX and UnixWare technology, including the copyrights, were transferred to SCO as part of the Asset Purchase Agreement between Novell and SCO dated September 19, 1995. Any question of whether the UNIX copyrights were transferred to SCO under the Asset Purchase Agreement was clarified in Amendment No. 2 to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated October 16, 1996. "This amendment simply confirms SCOs long stated position that it owns all copyrights associated with the UNIX and UnixWare businesses," said Chris Sontag, senior vice president and general manager, SCOsource intellectual property division, SCO. The amendment was signed by Steven Sabbath, Vice President, Law and Corporate Affairs for The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc., and James R. Tolonen, Executive Vice President and CFO, Novell, Inc. The clause in Amendment No.2 in the Asset Purchase Agreement states: A. With respect to Schedule 1.1(b) of the Agreement, titled "Excluded Assets", Section V, Subsection A shall be revised to read: All copyrights and trademarks, except for the copyrights and trademarks owned by Novell as of the date of the Agreement required for SCO to exercise it rights with respect to the acquisition of UNIX and UnixWare technologies. However, in no event shall Novell be liable to SCO for any claim brought by any third party pertaining to said copyrights and trademarks. "SCO is the owner of the UNIX operating system, as well as all of the UNIX contracts, claims and copyrights necessary to conduct that business," said Sontag. "None of the litigation we are currently involved with asserts claims based on copyrights. Because others have called into question SCOs ownership of the UNIX and UnixWare copyrights, we are satisfied that we have now proven without a doubt that SCO owns those copyrights."
