[comp.unix.xenix] ISC and SCO Xenix

jack@turnkey.TCC.COM (Jack F. Vogel) (09/05/88)

I noticed in a recent ad in Unix World that Interactive is claiming
that their latest 386/ix will run SCO binaries. This sounds quite
interesting. Does anyone out there have more information on this claim?
Does this mean I could take any of my compiled Xenix 386 code and
install in under ISC and it would run? Would someone from Interactive
care to clarify??

Certainly the "merged" UNIX 386/V rel. 3.2 will run both Xenix and UNIX
binaries.  SCO Xenix 2.3 will run both Xenix and UNIX binaries; it would
not surprise me if a UNIX vendor also announced x.out conpatibility before
the official 3.2 release.
