Oooo Boy!  Ok, going right out on a limb without checking any of my notes
at work.....

I would hazard a guess that SCO X-Sight (hello, rosso, you'd know this),
is based on X-11.  SCO's Open Desktop graphics windowing is also based
on X-11 (at least it seems to be; SCO correct me if this is untrue).

We had SCO ODT up and running under SCO Xenix386 2.3.1 at the UNIX'89
show in Toronto a couple of weeks ago.  If the above assumptions are
correct, then there might be an implication that X-Sight will run under
Xenix 2.3.1 as well.

I should know better than to post without *facts* at hand.

I can comment that the SCO reseller price list has entries for X-Sight
for both generic 386 and microchannel _Xenix_ , only "it's not shipping
yet"  :-)
