VP/ix woes

[SPIESMAN, BILL]

When I had trouble getting some aplications to work under VP/ix,
I bothered SCO until they finally said that, in general, anything
that depends on its own device driver will fail under VP/ix. VP/ix
will not allow direct I/O to the video adapter. When you run such
a program, the video display will freeze as long as you are trying to
do the direct I/O.
