Bill's not been subbed to this list for well over a year, TTBOMK.

As I recall, they support SCO binaries, yes.  I'm not sure what they used
to do it though, or how well it works.

One problem though is that "SCO" binaries aren't even supported under iBCS
after a certain version if they were the xenix 286 model (I -so- forget the
magic type now...winging it on memory and saying x.out?).  And I don't know
if ABI ever did support them.  So a lot of stuff that was xenix and early
SCO unix hybrid doesn't work under emulation.
