I did. Straight from SCO's mouth:

1) The current release of the XENIX O/S is SCO XENIX 386GT 2.3.2.

2) XENIX 386AT (without SCSI and other misc. thingies) is NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
            ^^
3) The ONLY way to get 2.3.3 is via either a) VP/ix kernel mods or 
   b) SLS xnx155b. Note that this updates the kernel to release 2.3.3 only.
   According to the SLS docs, the "files and utilities" are still considered
   to be release 2.3.2.

4) The current release of the SCO XENIX Developement System is 2.3.1. A 2.3.2
   release has been planned but is "several months away".
