What if any Unixes will run Dos Merge ? I am trying to find one for 
ESIX (ENIX??) or ANY sysV strain and am getting the usual runaround.
I would really prefer Merge to Vpix as many of the problems Iv'e seen 
related to vpix donot occur on Merge with Uport /386 3.0E . I would like 
to upgrade to SYSV 386/3.2 But want to keep merge. Any help appreciated.
