My friend has a business and he uses Xenix to run an Open Systems
Order Entry, Accounts Recievable, Accounts Payable and Inventory
package. There are about two people that are constantly takeing
orders and one doing accounts recievable (collections) work.
He wants billy downstars, in the manufacturing area to run the
Inventory program and billy wants to do this but he also wants
to be able to design new products at his terminal (he now does
this with pen and paper).
We looked at Designer that runs on DOS and it's kinda like Paint
but one can move the objects around and other stuff that I'm not
real up on. The problem is that Designer runs on DOS and we can't
be takeing the system down for this. Is there anything that we
can use for billy to do his design work under Xenix over an
RS-232 connected terminal?
(I suspect that if there is, running it on a terminal will be a
limiting factor due to the limited graphics on terminals) (???)
Thanks!

Don't speak to him of your heartache, for he is speaking.
He feels the touch of an ants foot. If a stone moves under the
water he knows it.jbayer@ispi.UUCP (id for use with uunet/usenet) (09/03/88)

If you are running a 386, you might look into VP/ix. It runs DOS under
Xenix (and others). I would suggest that you wait for the final release
rather than the controlled release (the controlled release is buggy)
