Summary: why bother with dos when you can have your code and unix too...

If you get the SCO Xenix - you could compile your programs on the Xenix
machine with the dos libraries.  All of the Unix Calls are implemented
in the dos library and will run under dos 3.x after moved to dos disk.
I found it rather neat to run 'curses' under dos or to do other
tasks that are available under Unix and perform them under Dos.

Of course, not all the the functions are implemented under Dos since dos
is still single tasking.
