The "merged" product from SCO should RUN the standard UNIX V.3 assembler,
but that doesn't mean it will USE it. So although you will be able to
generate binaries that run on SCO using the standard UNIX V.3 assembler
(and loader maybe), there will be a licensing problem to supply this
assembler for Xenix.
