The current version of SCO XENIX will have problems with returning
from graphics programs.  Xenix depends on the EGA and CGA fonts being
located in the same place as IBM's EGA card.  SCO has patches so that
the EGA font can be used without hitch.  Then the only problem is if
you try to access the CGA Text mode of the card.
