flavors & versions on PC/AT machines I would greately appreciate it

	Santa Cruz Operation releases XENIX System V.  It is a
good port of Sys. V with extra goodies and the support isn't bad.

There's a company called Microport in California (10096 Soquel Drive,
Aptos, CA 95003, (408) 688-0286) that is selling Sys V for the AT for
some rather incredible prices:

   1.	Runtime system (minimum stuff, 2-user license)	$ 159.95
   2.	Software development system (C, make, dbx...)	  139.95
   3.	Text preparation system (nroff, troff, pic...)	  159.95
   4.	1, 2, and 3 package price (COMPLETE Sys V)	  389.95
   5.	Berkeley enhancements (csh, vi, etc.)		   99.95
   6.   3+ user license (1. is for 2-user license)	   65.00
   7.	The whole nine yards (1-6, 3+ user license)	  454.95  <==!!

These prices are one half to one third what the competition charges.
Has anyone on the net ever seen this stuff run?  Is it any good?  Is
it shipping now?
