Where was everybody when I posted my 'Coherent is a lemon' series of messages?
It's samll in the sense of 64K code.  Coherent runs in 286 protected mode, NOT
386 protected mode.

Yes, it does, but again, you have the small memory model limitation.  It's not
a Xenix 286 where it will support swapping and large model programs.  In fact,
I don't think Coherent even supports swapping.  What it can stick in memory is
all you can run.
