Now that we have at least four announced versions of SYS V Unix for the
80286 (Xenix, PC-IX, Venix, and the 6300+ OSmerge), I would like to
know if these systems are compatible at the binary program level that
Bill Gates has declared imperative for commerical success.

Can a single binary of a program such as vi or uucico run the 80286
with these four systems??         "SYS V: Consider it standard?"
