SCO sells a product called VP/ix which is MSDOS running under Xenix. I have found (I use it daily) that it works for most things. The software I have had trouble with (and have not taken the time to figure out why) is PolyShell. One major drawback (at least on my 16 MHz 386) is that the speed with which data is sent to the printer is very slow. I usually generate the output to a file and then print it under Xenix.
