Is this true? I can guarantee you that it's not. It might *contain* a Z-80, but Xenix 3.0 requires at least an 80286. We're running 3.5 Zap 13 here. Note that Xenix 3.x predates SCO Xenix 2.x. > Does anyone have any software development tools for this version of Xenix? > [C compiler, BASIC interpreter, FORTRAN, COBOL, PL/I ...] Well, the only people I know still quote-supporting-unquote Xenix 3.x is Intel, and it'd take serious arm-twisting. BUT, System V/386 Release 3.2 runs most Xenix 3.x binaries just fine. I suspect Xenix 2.x (wherever SCO is up to these days) would do as well, since it seems to have the same format (at least I can run Xenix 2.x and Xenix 3.x binaries on the same SVR3.2 system). -- Peter da Silva / 77487-5012 USA / +1 713 274 5180 true(<<VV$@\\\\$'&O 9$O%'$LT$&$"V6"$&$<4$?'&$ #I&&?$=$<<@)24 24 scale 3 21 moveto {dup 36 eq{pop not}{dup 7 and 4 sub exch 56 and 8 div 4 sub 2 index{rlineto}{ rmoveto}ifelse}ifelse}forall stroke pop showpage % Har du kramat din varg idag?
