Talk about yap. This is the kind of stuff I get from salesmen.  You don't have
a clue whether or not the merged product will run Xenix binaries any better than
early VP/ix ran DOS binaries.

Right now the merged product is still Class A vaporware. And every day we wait
for it is another day Fox Software loses out.

Besides, even when the merged product comes out, what'll that do for anyone
who wants FoxBase and System V.2 on a 286 system? SCO has ensured they'll
forever be SOL.
