Do NOT burn a Joliet filesystem.
Keep the filenames simple, standard DOS 8.3 (8 character name . 3 character
extention) will help.
Suggest a CDR and not a CD-RW.
At work you could put the CD into a Windows box and copy file to SCO box,
or
Log into the SCO box as root and mount the CD:
mount -r /dev/cd0 /mnt
Use standard unix cp command to copy file into /tmp, and follow install
directions for the file.
unmount the cd:
umount /mnt
