Under SCO XENIX 2.2, I put -Ml2 in CFLAGS to go for large model and
286-specific code use, and it compiled fine, no trouble with the
optimizer.

I'm just running single-user, so I can't comment either way about its
use of CPU.  BTW, if you are willing to spend the bucks, I'm
beta-testing EPSILON from Lugaru Software Ltd. under SCO.  It is a
fast, very powerful EMACS-style editor.  They may have a uPort version.
At $195 retail, it is a steal.  If anyone needs more info, send email.
