Upgrade Path SCO (XENIX -> UNIX)

[David Jaffe]

Sure, formally there is an upgrade procedure from xenix to unix, but it's
cost is prohibitive.  To upgrade both the operating and development systems
costs $1100, retail.  What really pisses me off is the following quote from
an SCO Background Paper, dated 9/88:

     Q:  Should I wait for SCO UNIX System V / Release 3.2 to become
	 available rather than buying SCO XENIX Release 2.3 today?

     A:  There's no need to wait.  SCO XENIX Release 2.3 offers effective
	 solutions for your current business problems, provides UNIX
	 binary compatibility, and also provides a direct upgrade path to
	 SCO UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2.
