The Open Desktop Companion is the first book dedicated to users of the Santa Cruz Operation's (SCO) Open Desktop environment. As an integrated system based on accepted industry standards, Open Desktop fills a void in the market and goes a long way towards bringing the promise of open systems to PC and workstation users. This book also fills a void. It is written specifically for users with high-performance personal workstations who want to take advantage of their systems' capabilities through the use of the sophisticated Open Desktop environment.
