I understand, from the brochure we have here, that SCO Xenix V/386 V2.3.1 
has passed the SVVS..... the older versions (2.2.x) were "almost" there -- I
believe there were two exceptions (one having to do with file locking).

I've got the update on order... should be here in a few days.  It will be
interesting to see if it indeed is fully complient.
