I have duly noted that SCO Xenix release 2.3.x shows a high
degree of COFF binary compatibility.  What exactly does this
get me?  I've been using mainly 68000-based Suns in recent
years, and so it appears the COFF compatibility will not
have much impact on me from this standpoint.  Where exactly
are the gains?  Do a lot of systems support Sys V/386 binary
files?  Please pardon the ignorance.  Enlightenment will be
much appreciated :-).
