Technically this is correct, though you can upgrade to 2.3.3 with xnx155b

>2.3.0 is the latest Dev.sys. version.

No, 2.3.2 is the latest version.   The upgrade from 2.3.0 to 2.3.1 is
free.  The upgrade to 2.3.2 will cost you some..

>1.2.0 is latest VP/IX version, upgrade cost is $260.

Yes, this is the latest version of VP/IX and it's worth the upgrade cost!
They fixed up a whole bunch of little problems, and improved speed by
quite a bit.

>You cannot get online manuals for XENIX 2.3.

This is not true.  They come with the text processing system!

Yes, you are basically correct, and yes the rest of the world get SCO
products alot later than the USA.
