The 'text file busy' was never discussed during OSR 6 beta testing
because no one thought to try copying over a busy file.

I've personally got other issues with the console driver, and for that
matter with scoansi too: I can no longer generate diacriticals for the
occasions when I write French or Spanish..

I made it rather clear to SCO engineers, months ago, that I'd like to
see the Unixware console driver be entirely rewritten, and I've now also
communicated that I'd like to see the 'text file busy' error message
re-appear too.

I'm but one voice among many on SCO's horizon, but I've earned some
points over the years, and maybe my voice hovers a bit... :-)
