No, the answer is "it depends".  Most versions of Xenix are *not*
virtual mem operating systems.  The 286 Xenix I'm sitting at isn't,
for a start.  The 386 Xenix sat next to my desk at the office *is*
a virtual mem OS.  I don't know about the 68000 xenices, not having
ever used one, but I doubt they are.

Anyway, this is .xenix.sco.  SCO 8086 and 286 xenixes aren't.  SCO 386
xenix is.
