FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



                    SCO AND DIGITAL EQUIPMENT CORPORATION
                      SIGN WORLDWIDE TRAINING AGREEMENT

                 Digital's Authorized Training Centers join
                 SCO Authorized Education Centers to expand
                      SCO's worldwide training network

SANTA CRUZ, CA (October 2, 1992) -- SCO and Digital Equipment Corporation
(DIGITAL) today announced that they recently signed an agreement that will
enable DIGITAL worldwide training centers to become SCO Authorized Education
Centers (AECs).  The agreement extends SCO's network of AECs and increases the
availability of SCO training in the world marketplace.  Now DIGITAL Authorized
Training Centers will be offering courses on SCO Open Desktop and the SCO UNIX
Operating System.

Karen Blue, SCO vice president of Worldwide Customer Service, said, ``To
develop and deploy global, enterprise-wide computing systems, multinational
companies must have access to qualified training that is available at numerous
sites around the world.  This first worldwide training agreement between SCO
and a strategic OEM partner reinforces SCO's ongoing commitment to worldwide
education services by expanding the number of SCO AECs.  DIGITAL's quality
training organization contributes greatly to SCO's strategy of providing
education to multinational customers through quality partners that share SCO's
worldwide scope and expertise.''

The training agreement also fulfills DIGITAL's Open Education strategy,
cementing DIGITAL's commitment to open, multiuser environments and extending
DIGITAL's own quality curriculum with SCO course offerings.

Pat Cataldo, DIGITAL's vice president of DIGITAL Education and Consulting
Services said, ``SCO's wide acceptance as a leader in the desktop UNIX
marketplace will now be further enhanced by DIGITAL's worldwide customer
training organization. Our ability to deliver world-class learning services to
SCO users will open many new opportunities for both companies and provide
desktop users with the full benefits of the leading curriculum in the industry.''

SCO Training is available worldwide, with more than 100 SCO Authorized
Education Centers throughout the United States and Canada, and 75 locations
in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Pacific, Asia, and Latin America.

This agreement further extends the number of training courses that SCO offers
worldwide with the addition of DIGITAL's world-class training infrastructure.
Last year, more than 300,000 students took courses at DIGITAL's 137 training
centers worldwide. Instruction is provided in 18 languages.
