    Wait!  Hooooooold it!  I'm blowing my whistle.  Something makes me suspect
that you're using SCO's old System-3 port.  You're right, it was a dog.  But
XENIX for the '286 (from SCO) was one of the BETA sites for SVVS.  Their
System-V port.  The one they've been shipping for years.  And they
DO pass it!  Their '386 UNIX product also passes it.  When comparing SCO
to uPort, it's a lot closer to apples:apples than you think--you just have
to stop looking at (very) dated versions of their product.
