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
