I just finished installing VP/ix 1.1 on an SCO UNIX system. The documentation
seems to infer that it is for Xenix only. (And you're right, the custom
installation does some funny things.) If you look at the Upgrade package
you will see that references to Xenix apply equally to UNIX System V.
(I received a base VP/ix and an upgrade as well.)

After a bit of patience I was able to get it up and running. I talked to SCO
support and they verified that there is one version (1.1) for both Xenix/386 
and UNIX 3.2/386.

By the way I heard that an upgrade to version 1.2 is available to registered
owners of 1.1. ( No cost as well ) SCO, care to comment?
