The SCO UNIX System V 3.2 is *based* on AT&T's System V rel 3.2 and
SCO's own XENIX (which in itself is a modified version of Microsoft
XENIX).  *But*, SCO has substantially changed its 5.3.2 UNIX so that
it largely no longer resemble AT&T's version, whether it be the kernel,
libraries, or utilitites.  This is true at the source code level, and
in many cases in a functional level as well.

AT&T's UNIX System V release 4.0 has a i386 version that will run on
a generic 386 PC/AT clone.  I don't know whether 5.4.0 is commercially
available yet.
