	I spoke with an SCO rep who reported very good performance running
Open Desktop on the Northgate 386/33; a colleague running UNIX (don't know
which implementation) on their tower version confirms. You'll need more 
than 4 MB if you're planning to run components beyond the Runtime (like
TCP/IP, X/Windows and the like). Merge is marginal in a 4 MB box.
