As I recall from when I had an AT (286) with xenix, they use the
MICROSOFT object module format (altered intel object module format)
instead of coff. These same object modules could potentially be used
with a dos linker if the memory model was correct. Unix 386 (not xenix)
uses a TOTALLY different object module format. ==> you NEED the xenix
development stuff if you hope to use xenix libraries.
