You don't have a clue whether or not the merged product will run Xenix binaries any better than early VP/ix ran DOS binaries. Right now the merged product is still Class A vaporware. And every day we wait for it is another day Fox Software loses out. Besides, even when the merged product comes out, what'll that do for anyone who wants FoxBase and System V.2 on a 286 system? SCO has ensured they'll forever be SOL. > Steve Dyer -- Evan Leibovitch, SA of System Telly, located in beautiful Brampton, Ontario evan@telly.UUCP (PENDING: evan@telly.on.ca) / {uunet!attcan,utzoo}!telly!evan Don't worry - Be happy.
