An enhanced version of Unix System V Release 3.2 for Intel processors from SCO. In 1989, SCO Unix was introduced as a major upgrade to SCO XENIX with more security, networking and standards conformance. SCO Unix servers support dumb terminals, Windows, X terminal and SCO OpenServer clients. The SCO OpenServer line evolved from SCO Unix. See SCO OpenServer.
