I agree with Tom on the need for a Microport group.  However, 80286 now run
more Xenix than any other processor.  Your religious rantings should seriously
be taken elsewhere.  Microport is today where Microsoft and ATT will merge
SV and XenixV.  However, Microsoft isn't releasing the merge product until 
sometime in 1989!!  (Whereas we Microport developers will have had 3 years of
COFF and sdb and *real* systemV!)

Get off the processor wars.  Its offensive and unnecessary.
