Most versions of Xenix are *not* virtual mem operating systems. The 286 Xenix I'm sitting at isn't, for a start. The 386 Xenix sat next to my desk at the office *is* a virtual mem OS. I don't know about the 68000 xenices, not having ever used one, but I doubt they are. Anyway, this is .xenix.sco. SCO 8086 and 286 xenixes aren't. SCO 386 xenix is. -- Ronald Khoo +44 81 991 1142 (O) +44 71 229 7741 (H)
