Good try... not going to happen. If you want another copy of filePro on
another platform, it is going to cost you the price of that new platform.
Anything else is sort of like saying, I'm done with my Ford now I want a
Pontiac, won'tyou give me one for $1?  :-)  Like I said good try.

As for switching from SCO, that is up to you, but there would have to be
some compelling reason to do so. Why not just move to 5.0.7 and then Legend
in the 1st quarter of next year?
