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" :-) >Mark Levy { mhlevy@sbccvm.BITNET } --ed {edhew@egvideo.uucp} Ed.

Open Desktop is based on X11, but it is supposed to be SCO UNIX System V/386 not SCO XENIX 386. > I should know better than to post without *facts* at hand. I have a nice shinny advertising glossy for SCO XSIGHT sitting right here, and it says: SCO Xsight System Requirements Operating System: SCO XENIX 386 Release 2.3.1 (or later) On the other hand, the same glossy also says: The Santa Cruz Operations, Inc. reserves teh right to change or modify any of the product or service specifications or features described herein without notice.
