Well, now we'll know why if another shuttle crashes, blows up or otherwise
vanishes.
Seriously, I don't know why the surprise though. The Navy has SCO on it's
ships. (We're involved in that little effort) And the Army uses Xenix all
over the place. So what else is new?

VP/ix is slow as a task. Yes. You really need a 20 or 25 Mhz box to look like
an AT. And to run a bunch of DOS jobs is not the goods. It's really meant to
be the occasional task to prevent Xenix from having to be taken down as
before. But it works: Halleluja!
