I think SCO doesn't ship CRYPT automatically because it is illegal for
an American company to ship CRYPT out of the US for security reasons.  
Rather than have separate inventory they deliver only on request.

If it is any easier my firm, MKS Inc., has a product called MKS Trilogy
which includes CRYPT, AWK and the Korn Shell designed to run on SCO
XENIX 286 & 386, Microport, and 386ix.
