SCO OpenDesktop 1.1 (which is currently in beta) reportedly is based
on SCO UNIX 3.2v2 so once it's released I wouldn't be surprised if
an upgrade path is announced shortly thereafter.

If you *really_want* to be using ODT on 3.2v2 right now, your only
recourse is to install the ODT1.0 packages on top of a 3.2v2 o/s.
Of course, if you don't happen to have both lying around right now,
it's not a particularily cost-efficient way to go, aside from which
I kinda doubt that SCO would want to support such a configuration.
[I know it does work if you do it right in that we ran that config
 this past summer].

I would however recommend waiting for ODT1.1, it shouldn't be that
much longer.
