General Information :
Something doesn't work. How do I fix it?

There are the man pages, which contain the directions for each command and some important files, too. Use the 'man' or 'apropos' command to look for a command or subject respectively:

      man grep
      apropos security

   Use the DocView on new UnixWare7/OPenServer 6 host to search for a word
   or words.  If the host is down, use the docserver at SCO:

groups.google.com is what was formerly Deja, a Usenet Archive with a good search engine. wdbl.sco.com/kb/search is the SCO Technical Article home page where you can search the SCO database for your issue or problem. The Usenet newsgroups that you will want to focus on are:

      comp.unix.unixware.misc (removed entries to)
      comp.unix.sco.misc
      comp.unix.sco.programmer    -- Programing Questions

There is an excellent UW 7 book published:

      Henriksen G. and M., _UnixWare 7 System Administration_

There are excellent web sites by other good people at:
