SCO Files July MORs

Finally, SCO filed its MORs for July. Is anybody noticing they don't seem to be reorganizing?
I need to lighten up, yo. This is *bankruptcy* court, and your checkbook isn't supposed to balance out. Just spend, spend, spend, and who's to check your hand? You want 4 hotels on Park Place and 6 houses on Baltic Avenue? Why not? No one will ever hold you accountable. It's not like us little people, who have to, you know, pay our debts and all.
Page 16 says that professional fees for July were $340,960. For one month. That is more than SCO paid its employees and more than it made in net profit from the business that month, but who's counting? Obviously not the US Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.
Guess how much the professional fees total since bankruptcy began? $5,738,877. It means, as I read it, that instead of paying Novell what SCO owes in damages, it paid professionals to help them try to avoid it.
Then there's the millions for the IBM and Novell litigation, if I've read these MORs right.

CFREE(3) Linux Programmer's Manual CFREE(3) NAME
cfree - free allocated memory SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h> /* In SunOS 4 */ int cfree(void *ptr); /* In glibc or FreeBSD libcompat */ void cfree(void *ptr); /* In SCO OpenServer */ void cfree(char *ptr, unsigned num, unsigned size); /* In Solaris watchmalloc.so.1 */ void cfree(void *ptr, size_t nelem, size_t elsize); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)): cfree(): _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE DESCRIPTION
This function should never be used. Use free(3) instead. 1-arg cfree In glibc, the function cfree() is a synonym for free(3), "added for compatibility with SunOS". Other systems have other functions with this name. The declaration is sometimes in <stdlib.h> and sometimes in <malloc.h>. 3-arg cfree Some SCO and Solaris versions have malloc libraries with a 3-argument cfree(), apparently as an analog to calloc(3). If you need it while porting something, add #define cfree(p, n, s) free((p)) to your file. A frequently asked question is "Can I use free(3) to free memory allocated with calloc(3), or do I need cfree()?" Answer: use free(3). An SCO manual writes: "The cfree routine is provided for compliance to the iBCSe2 standard and simply calls free. The num and size argu- ments to cfree are not used." RETURN VALUE
The SunOS version of cfree() (which is a synonym for free(3)) returns 1 on success and 0 on failure. In case of error, errno is set to EINVAL: the value of ptr was not a pointer to a block previously allocated by one of the routines in the malloc(3) family. CONFORMING TO
The 3-argument version of cfree() as used by SCO conforms to the iBCSe2 standard: Intel386 Binary Compatibility Specification, Edition 2. SEE ALSO
