          SCO ANNOUNCES CHINESE VERSION OF LATEST SCO UNIX SYSTEM


SANTA CRUZ, CA (November 19, 1992) -- SCO, the world's leading supplier of
packaged UNIX Systems, today announced the availability of the first Chinese
version of SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 Version 4.0.  Co-developed by
SCO, Steptech FIC Group, and Institute for Information Industry (III),
this new Chinese version of the SCO UNIX System complies with the standards
of the Chinese government and features greater ease of use, increased system
capacity, and more network and device support than ever before available in a
Chinese-language UNIX System for 386/486 computers.

``SCO XENIX has already secured a loyal base of customers in the Taiwan
marketplace,'' said Doug Michels, SCO co-founder and executive vice president.
``The new Chinese version of SCO UNIX provides a smooth transition to larger
systems for these SCO XENIX users, as well as all the power, networking
capabilities, and standards compliance required by major corporate accounts
and the Chinese government.''

To develop the new Chinese SCO UNIX System, SCO and Steptech used
Multinational Language Support (MNLS) technology from UNIX System
Laboratories, Inc.  The product features console support for both the
phonetic alphabets and ideographic characters and supports both the EUC and
Big-5 code sets.  In addition, the new Chinese SCO UNIX System meets the III
SEED workstation specification for compliance with Chinese government
standards.

Jeanne Ikemoto, SCO's vice president, North Asia Sales, said, ``SCO's
continued success in the Taiwan marketplace reflects our commitment to work
closely with outstanding Taiwan partners such as Steptech to create localized
products to meet the needs of Taiwan's business and government.  It's the
combination of mature, Intel-based products such as this latest Chinese SCO
UNIX and strong relationships with our distributors that make SCO the
proven, reliable choice for Taiwan.''

The Chinese version of SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2 Version 4.0 is a
robust, fully licensed version of AT&T's UNIX System V, with value-added
enhancements provided exclusively by SCO.  The SCO UNIX System is binary
compatible with earlier versions of SCO UNIX System V/386 and SCO XENIX
and includes extensive communications capabilities for networking with other
systems.  Its 32-bit, multithreaded, multitasking kernel with virtual memory
delivers unprecedented performance on today's 386/486 systems, and supports
more peripherals and devices than any other UNIX System.

The new Chinese SCO UNIX System is available in Taiwan from both SCO
Authorized Distributors, Steptech and Stridemark.

The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. (SCO) is a privately held company recognized
internationally as the business choice for open systems software.  SCO's wide
range of UNIX System software solutions for 386/486 computers includes SCO
Open Desktop, the SCO UNIX Operating System, and the SCO MPX multiprocessor
extension, plus interoperability software, development tools, and
comprehensive consulting, training and support services.  To date, SCO has
shipped over 800,000 UNIX Systems -- more than any other vendor -- and fields
one of the largest UNIX System technical teams in the world.  Founded in
1979, SCO maintains corporate business and development headquarters in Santa
Cruz, California, London, and Toronto, and major regional offices in
Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Mexico City, Milan, Paris, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo,
and throughout the U.S.
