Hmm... Word Perfect is out for AIX 3.1...

Seen Flight Simulator, and I think someone was running Windows 3.0 in
real mode... Anyways, the answer is yes, just read the documentation
info.

Interleaf has ported to AIX 3.1... Didn't they have a deal for
Universities, i.e. free license and just charge for the initial
distribution media (or was that only for their Sun version)?

The new word processor Asterix for the Sun is being ported over to AIX
3.1... I talked to them (I forgot the company's name) in January's
Uniforum and they said it should be ready by early summer.
