First off, I must apologize for asking this when I know a lot of this
was recently discussed.  My boss just asked me and unfortunately I have
a quick expire...

I've written a software package that is currently running under IBM
XENIX/286 and SCO XENIX/386; I've gotten it to compile under DEC Ultrix
using System V compatibility.  There are a few glitches that occur
because of 32-bit ints, or at least there were a year ago.  For this
reason I'm compiling the package in 286 large model on the 386 systems.

We are looking at installing the package at a corporate client's site,
and investigating the possibilities of using UNIX instead of XENIX.  I
have a good XENIX background, and I can find answers to everything I need
to know about it, but SCO and Interactive UNIX System V/386 are both out
of my experience.  I would appreciate any cost, performance, and
reliability comparisons that anyone could give me; if there was a summary
posted recently, I'd be more than grateful for a copy by email.

Thanks in advance!
