SCO XENIX doesn't come with a Fortran, although I think you can buy a
Microsoft Fortran, which, in its DOS incarnation, is universally
reviled by Fortran connoisseurs.  In other respects, SCO XENIX V
is pretty good.  The "System III / V" overhead is a silly argument,
it seems to me.  You can always delete programs you don't want (if that's
what was meant.)  VENIX (at least early VENIXes) had a V6 file system
which is a bit faster than an untuned V7 file system, but I don't think the
difference is enough to make that the criterion for choosing a UNIX system
for your PC.  Recent VENIX systems are System V based.  Don't know what
their file system looks like.
