        Interactives DOS emulator is called VP/ix.  Locus' DOS emulator
is called DOSMerge.  Open Desktop by SCO is going to ship DOSMerge,
since it can properly live within an X window.  SCO currently ships
VP/ix to run on Xenix/386.

        I too have found DOSMerge (an old version 1.1.3, I believe, on
Microport/386) to be much better than VP/ix, especially as a command
line environment for DOS development.
