On a 286 the official Tex distribution will not work.
A few days ago I posted a message in comp.unix.xenix that
the source for Tex 2.0, hacked for SCO Xenix 286, release 2.2.1
is available for anonymous ftp from tuewsd.lso.win.tue.nl, address
131.155.2.8. (well I first got the address wrong, but this one is
correct).

Your mileage with other releases of SCO Xenix may vary. Older versions
certainly do not work. Newer versions may work is SCO didn't break anything
in their compiler.

Only the c-source for the tex program is on tuewsd. You will have to get
fonts and macros someplace else.

An undump program is included with the sources.

Paul.
