No.  It's not available.  Yet.

SCO UNIX will be first.

When it's all ready to start shipping I'll do some 'real' benchmarks.  Right 
now let's just say I am pleased with the job Walter has done on the code
generator.

We are into DOS, OS/2, MS Windows, Rational Systems DOS extender, (all 
shipping), with SCO UNIX and Phar Lap 386 DOS extender announced as being 
available soon (yeah, I know -- vaporware...).

> 4) Any other recommendations?

Be patient.  It will be available soon.  I'm not at liberty to be more specific.
