I keep it simple (for 6.5 release)!
I patch configure.in
sysv4.2*)      case "$host_vendor" in              univel) os=univel need_tas=no ;;
+                  pc) os=uw2 need_tas=no ;;                   *) os=unknown need_tas=no ;;      esac ;;

and setup apropriate template and port/* files

Template really could be set to "unixware", but I have strange directory 
/udk/usr/ .... where all libraries and includes reside.  
gmake ofcause should be installed, but I use gmake for my-own 
development so it don't case trouble. 

I receive strange lex error
ex  scan.l
"scan.l":line 55: Error: Invalid request %x     IN_STRING IN_COMMENT
gmake: *** [pl_scan.c] Error 1

scan.l:55
%x      IN_STRING IN_COMMENT

What it means?

I'm going to install flex.

Thanks alot for good wishes!We don't plan to spend many for SCO, but old UW is part
of Lucent Voice-over-IP solution and I need to 
do some magic with UW to make it managable by our support dept.
