Here's the scoop off IBM's Programming Announcement:

XENIX Operating System			395.00
XENIX Software Development System	455.00
XENIX Text Formatting System		145.00
Total					995.00

XENIX Operating System Highlights:
Supports 3 Mb of memory, multi-user, multi-tasking, dynamic memory managment
via 80286 chip, hierachical file system, two command interfaces (bourne and
visual shells), 3 editors (vi, ed, and sed), file-sharing protection and access
control, background processes, co-residence with IBM PC DOS, file transfer
between DOS and XENIX, support for the 80287 math coprocessor, several Berkeley
extensions (more, termcap, curses).

XENIX Software Development System Highlights:
C compiler (output for DOS or XENIX), assembler, run-time library, lint, make,
sccs, adb, yacc, several popular Berkeley extensions (strings, xstr, csh)

XENIX Text Formatting System Hightlights:
mm, eqn, tbl, spell, vi and ed, numerous technical document formatting tools,
and several popular Berkeley extensions (diction, explain and style)

The following compliers have been announced for XENIX:
Fortran		 595.00
Pascal		 595.00
Cobol		1250.00
Basic		 195.00
C		 595.00 (NOTE: this version is optimized for the 68000)
The above compilers maybe only for the System 9000 machines as they came
from a response to a question on that machine rahter than the PC/AT.
