The 2.3 Development System cannot generate COFF object modules or
COFF executables.  It can link existing COFF object modules and
libraries into XENIX executables.  The upcoming 3.2 Development System
will include both the AT&T and Microsoft C compilers, and all the utilities
needed to generate both COFF and XENIX (x.out) object modules and
executables.
