If you will look in the release notes for 2.13/2.14 of the Development
system, you will find that section 2.2.3 states that "Large model programs
developed on 8086 machines under Xenix86 will only run on 80286 machines
under Xenix286."

Xenix86 is pretty limited to what applications can be compiled and run. 
I'm in the process of upgrading from Xenix86 to Xenix386, so I can relate
to your frustration.
