- It's not really an issue of "working" or "not working". If you have
- the source and are willing to hack on it long enough, you can make
- almost anything work under Xenix. It's just an issue of how much time
- and effort you're willing to invest.

- As an example, there are two major public-access Unix systems in the
- Ann Arbor area. One of them is running on an Altos 68K machine with
- System III. The other is running on a Sun 2/170 with SunOS 3.2. Now,
- both machines are of similar vintage, and both are somewhat
- antiquated. But guess which one is easier to port PD software to?
- And then, guess which one has more PD software installed on it.
