Summary: I use AMI under VP/IX, and it runs quite well.  Remember that
	 any program under VP/IX runs in real mode.

I first saw AMI (from Samna) at USENIX in New York and was impressed.  So
I purchased it and installed it on my SCO386 machine (2.2.3).  It uses
Microsoft Windows 286 as it's presentation, and is quite effective, with
both Draft and View modes.  I used an HPLaser JetII with a PageSTyler board
for true Postscript output, and am quite happy with it.  Note: this is for
sometimes use, and only for I user at a time.  I would prefer a Unix version
but the cash box presently doesn't allow it.
