Dear fellow Xenix Users,

	Help,

	I have recently obtained a PCs Limited 286 based computer
	(AT Clone) and SCO Xenix V  rev 2.1.3, as well as an EGA Monitor.
	Now I need to know where to obtain software that REALLY runs 
	under this  (SCO Xenix V  rev 2.1.3) OS.

	As I just spent several thousand dollars, I cannot afford
	to buy too many (Any, at this point) commercial packages, so I am
	looking for either PD (preferred) or Shareware, or other sources. 
	Note further that currently I have no other high level language
	compiler besides 'C', ( I have the development environment) although I 
	also have Xlisp 1.6 running.
	I do have ARC available for unarcing of files.

|	An Xmodem File Transfer program that works under cu,                |
|	or as a stand alone.  In fact any good file transfer                |
|	or communication program besides Kermit.                            |
|	                                                                    |

       Thank you for any (and I do mean any) aid you can lend me in
       this quest for software.  Even though I might not need it now,
       or know that I what it, please tell me about any software you
       know how to obtain,that you think I might be interested,
       and that I could get for my own.
       
       			Hacking, it's not a job, it's an adventure,
