MS (later SCO {still MS licensed}) XENIX was designed and ran on i86 hardware. There was a version for the 8086, 80286 and 80386 before they merged into Sys V compatibility. They also had versions for M68k platforms, the best of which was a System III which ran on the Tandy 6000, an excellent platform. Xenix in its many manifestations was probably THE best Unix ever on a PC. The only difference nowadays is the ability of the Free Unixen to run the X Window System. Xenix is about as bullet proof as an M1 tank. I don't know that there were ever releases of Win NT, called Win NT before 3.0/3.1 I believe they picked up the #s on the market due to Windows being in versions 3.0 and 3.1 at the time..... that could just be a rumor, though. NT is a marginal OS but no where near as standard and portable as Free Unix. Also, the window system on NT is too close to the OS unlike X which is merely another process... That's my view.... -Mike Allison Max Eskin wrote:
