What's "IBM Sys. III"?  If you mean Xenix, no, it's AT only.  On the other
hand, PC/IX is in fact a full implementation of System III, including all
of the programs you'd get with PDP-11 System III.  Try it.

(It must be admitted that I had something to do with PC/IX, but that was
a previous job.  I still like it.)
