Unfortunately I find that VP/ix can be a bit flakey when invoked from a
shell script.  Also it messes with the screen, other devices etc. and
can be slow to load.  In comparison, the UNXUDI loader is very fast and
clean.  It still creates a V86 task but is much less ambitious about
trying to create an elaborate PC simulation within the box.  All it sets
up is what a well behaved UDI application needs to run.
