Does anyone know if Xenix / Unix were ever available

Revisiting this thread from October last year...
I've just been digging out some PANOS-related floppies that I got from an
ex-Acorn employee last year, with a view to imaging them in the next few days
and seeing what's on them (potentially interesting things like the actual
sources to PANOS, going by disk labels)
The relevant bit to this thread though is that there's also a floppy labelled
"XENIX discussion document", which might shed some light on where Acorn were
going with a 32016 port of XENIX... (the floppy looks to be in good physical
condition - no guarantee that it is what it says it is, hasn't been wiped,
still has readable data on it, isn't in some totally obscure format etc.)
Watch this space...
(To Graham Toal: I know you were asking about source to Acorn's 32016-resident
compilers; I'll let you know if I spot anything relevant)
cheers
