What are my biggest problems with Uw7?
Well, they fixed them all(most) :)
   Thanks.
There was one leftover from a year ago, though, ACL's. I also found a long time ago #2 that I failed to mention, but it's really got me rolling my eyeballs this week :-0
1) Default Directory ACL's have been broken since 7.0.0-7.1.1. There are two that are 5 years old, leftover from 7.0.0.
2) 'man' is so broken it's not even funny. MANPATH. ORDER. Eherrmm. man -a doesn't work correctly if you have an open source version of a program installed that has the same name as system program. Man will only find the SCO html version and stops searching correctly for any other possible versions in /usr/local/man even though MANPATH is set and those directories get searched during man commands.
