I need recommendations on a UNIX operating system for a 386 machine with the capabilities to shell out to DOS.

I am using xenix/386 2.3.1 and VP/ix. I like it. It's not perfect, but neither are any other similar products around. It runs all of the business software I use, and most of the utilities. With 2.3.1 and VP/ix 1.1 I have never had a DOS program interfere with the rest of the system. Not all DOS programs run (particularly games), but the rest of the machine keeps on going. When I tried INterActive and SCO the ISC C compiler was buggy. It still doesn't generate DOS executables. This was the big reason for going with SCO. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
