After many months of running SCO ODT, I have yet to encounter a
problem with the MERGE DOS support.  I have run all sorts of hackery
on it: keyboard, VGA and comm port mungers, Word 5, and a whole bunch more.
Of course, I wouldn't load Lotus if it were free.  Such druk that
wants to screw with strange disk I/O (copy protection schemes)
*won't* work with DOS under UNIX.
