Hello,
Getting one stable version on many different platforms
is not always the easiest, especially in ones spare time.
I am ready and willing to take any donations of hardware and
software which will allow me to run XENIX. At the moment, I have to
arrange, by apointment, to use equipment at a nearby company, taking
vacation days from my job to be able to do it in the buisness day.
That is not to say I am not preparing XENIX, it just might take
a little while. Also VMS users out there should hold on, a good set of
fixes with both a SMG and a VT220 style driver are being folded in now.
And a little other good news... FINALLY... our computer center
here has gotten the internet connection up to my workstation. Details
on anonymous FTP connections to it will be posted soon.

PS: If you must get 3.10 running on XENIX immediatly...
go into unix.c and add a "& 0" the the line
#if COMPLET
and go into tcap.c in the tcapgetc() function and add &0 to the:
#if XENIX | SUN
line. This will get it running, without file name completion
and function key recognition.
