I've now been clued into the actual source (code) of SCO's recent
behavior! The secret lies in the quips database for GCC's Bugzilla
database:
#define say(x) lie(x) // Copyright (C) 2003, SCO, Inc. This is valuable Intellectual Property.
It's simply a problem with the eddington typewriter[1] they've named
"Darl". I had no idea he was written in a C-based language, though.
I would have guessed VisualBasic or C#... But, I guess the SCO people
were, at one time, famous for their skills in systems languages like C;
so, it makes sense they'd write "Darl" in C or C++.
