Remember that SCO Xenix 386 and the AT&T/Intel-derived Sys V/386 are two
wholly distinct products. This is confused by the fact that SCO now
also distributes a release of V/386 (right?). Vendors who 'port to
SCO,' even 'port to SCO 386,' probably tend to mean Xenix even now.
Fortunately V/386 3.2 will load Xenix 386 binaries OK. All you have to
worry about is yucky screen and I/O specifics.
It would be nice if someone told Word Perfect's makers that ALL they
have to do is recompile under V/386 to get a native binary. The Xenix
compatible include files and symbol definitions are lavishly supplied.
