No problem with Xenix/V 386, I have it operating here.  It does use an
ungodly amount of RAM, but since Xenix is a VM implementation, it doesn't
seem to bother the system too much.

It *does* immediately ask for about 3.5M of RAM (!)  If our system didn't 
have the virtual space genned to do this, we'd be unable to run it too...

Paging systems should have little trouble, but if you're a swapping system,
look out!  Better have *lots* of physical memory...
