I can confirm Stuart's understanding, I was able to purchase SCO Xenix
386 as an "upgrade" by sending in the Microport build disk, ditto VP/ix
by sending in the Merge distribution disk.  I thought it was decent of
them and if you're not hopelessly System V hidebound (I am), it's a
decent product.  I don't know if they have extended the offer to the
new UNIX Vr3.2, but that would be an even better deal.  I'm pretty sure
that you have to cut the deal with Santa Cruz, I don't think that their
distributors/dealers can do it.
