   For the last month or so, I have been making the rounds of local
suppliers in an attempt to upgrade an IBM AT into a reasonable UNIX
workstation. The machine would be used for program development of
quantum chemistry packages to be run on 4.xBSD VAXen, SUNs, and their
like, hence compatibility with full UNIX systems both at the system
and user interfaces is a strong concern. However contrary to the
intriguing tidbits that seem to pass by on the net, all I seem to run
into is XENIX (SYS III). Isn't XENIX (SYS V) released? Does it have
virtual memory, paging, or does it use process swapping? Is VENIX
available for the AT? What is SCO XENIX? Is there anyplace where the
pros and cons of such a beast are discussed?

   I would appreciate any information, comparisons, suggestions
and/or addresses which might assist. I will summarize any mail
responses on the net if others show similar interest.

   Also, does anyone know of existing UNIX versions of the following
or their equivalents:
Gaussian 80    HONDO/GAMESS    MRD-CI    xNDO    MOLSCAT
