I noticed the other day, while poking around with the 'file' command on Xenix
386 2.3.1, that many of the binaries are 8086 and 80286 files ! Things like
grep, and find are 8086 junk. 

Could someone tell me, why on earth would SCO not simply recompile these things
to take advantage of the 80386 ? SCO ?? I almost can't believe my eyes. This is
quality control ?
