UNIX on the AT?

   For the last month or so, I have been making the rounds of local
suppliers in an attempt to upgrade an IBM AT into a reasonable UNIX
workstation. The machine would be used for program development of 
quantum chemistry packages to be run on 4.xBSD VAXen, SUNs, and their
like, hence compatibility with full UNIX systems both at the system 
and user interfaces is a strong concern. However contrary to the 
intriguing tidbits that seem to pass by on the net, all I seem to
run into is XENIX (SYS III). Isn't XENIX (SYS V) released? Does it
have virtual memory, paging, or does it use process swapping? Is VENIX
available for the AT? What is SCO XENIX? Is there anyplace where the
pros and cons of such a beast are discussed?

   I would appreciate any information, comparisons, suggestions and/or
addresses which might assist. I will summarize any mail responses on
the net if others show similar interest.

   Also, does anyone know of existing UNIX versions of the following or 
their equivalents:
Gaussian 80	HONDO/GAMESS	MRD-CI		xNDO		MOLSCAT
