In Xsight – OS/2 Museum


For a long time, I have tried to find a GUI environment running on SCO XENIX (because, honestly, what could be more useless?). Back in the day, meaning late 1980s and early 1990s, SCO sold Xsight, which was an adaptation of (at least initially) X11R3 to SCO’s XENIX and UNIX SVR3.2 operating systems.

For a long time, I have tried to find a GUI environment running on SCO XENIX (because, honestly, what could be more useless?). ODT 1.0 was basically a bundle of a whole bunch of SCO products: SCO UNIX System V R3.2, basic and extended utilities,TCP/IP runtime, NFS runtime, LMX (LAN Manager client), Ingres database, Merge386 (virtual DOS machines) and finally Xsight. Attempting to install via custom seems to work at first, but then fixperm spews a bunch of errors, claiming not to understand the format of executable files.
