Some *really* basic questions

[Wm E Davidsen Jr]

Xenix has a number of BSD features, as well as features which ATT has
dropped (like dump and restore). The system admin is far easier than
SysV, due to lots of sysadm scripts and stuff. The documentation is
better, by almost every review, and organized into sections with names
instead of numbers, like S for system calls. There is also an index of
all man items in the front of every manual.

Xenix has some added features like nap(), which make some things
possible which just don't work otherwise.

Xenix users are not rushing to SysV, although, since SCO is not
developing the product any more they will mostly migrate to SysV.
*Which* sysV is somewhat a question, however.

I haven't seen SCO UNIX yet (not for lack of ordering it, just not
delivered). I'm told that it is totally compatible with all the other
implementations around, a selling point for SysV users from other
machines.
