#      About four months ago I purchased a copy of ENIX V/386 (SVR3.0) for
# $539 through a local Everex dealer. My license was for the 2 user system
# and the manuals. Read the advertising flier carefully. It say that this

# same).

I would go a step further and get AT&T 386 UNIX Rel 3.2.  I bought a
copy of Rel 3.1 for $700.00 but it was for unlimited users and included
the Development package (but not DWB).  I had trouble installing it on
a Televideo 386 (almost an AT-clone), which turned out to be the 
keybd, or all things.  When I replaced the TVI keybd with a kybd from
an IBM PC/XT, it installed, and is running very well.  I will be ordering
the upgrade from 3.1 to 3.2 shortly.
