> What advantages does SCO UNIX V 386 hold over OS/2 and MS DOS?

A truely stable, protected mode (32 bit) operating environment,
With X11 Release 4/Motif.  Unix comes with appx. 42 billion, jillion
useful utilities too.  SCO Unix developers stuff can also generate
MS-DOS executables (comes with Microsoft C/Codeview).  Unix also
comes with networking stuff (UUCP at least).

I have SCO Developers version (Open Desktop/Developers) Ver. 1.1,
its very good.  The X server is hot.  In addition, I use the SGI
IrisVision (24 bit version) and the X server works well with it (
SGI supplied the server (ddx) portion of X).

OS/2 does have one nice feature not in Unix - true multi-threading.
This is highly useful if you know how to use it.
