IBM announced that they will support both xenix and pc/ix on the AT.
They might do this to encourage people to use the system best suited for
their needs. (i.e.) Xenix if you want to do development pc/ix for running
applications.(C compiler etc. optional). This also gives customers the 
illusion that their un*x is suited for them.  Also I believe only one
of them is available right away so maybe they just wanted to get the
product out the door.
