I was there at Phoenix working with that team around 1988-1990.

Under INTERACTIVE UNIX and Xenix you need to run them from the text mode console:”

Not surprising. Ntvdm worked the same way because vga emulation in v86 mode is a nightmare. Dosemu has a partial cpu emulator just for handling vga writes.

I have doctor’s note that says I can make spelling mistakes.

Props. Your spelling could use a spell checker. Example: “Never versions” You mean NEWER of course, but if you miss it once while writing, as the author, do you not have the write permissons to fix it after it has been politely pointed out? Please fix such awful mistakes in an otherwise fine and informative post. Thank you.
