I suggest you get a copy of he August issue of MicroSystems Journal.
There is a comparison article (written by me) on all the 386 *IX/DOS
combinations. This should give you the basic info. I would like to
point out that SCO still doesn't have the 'real' version released but
it is supposed to be out there any day.
I have not tried it but SCO claims that windows works fine under their
flavor of VP/ix. And Aldus claims that "if windows works, Pagemaker
will work".
Hope this helps.
