I just received the new IBM XENIX (version 2) a few days ago and it's
an absolute joy to use! I was using XENIX (version 1.0) for about a
year and became very frustrated with the compiler bugs and lousy
documentation. I had given up all hope of being able to build any
large programs with it. IBM has realy turned XENIX around (in the
right direction for a change)! Programs that never use to make it
through the compiler now compile just fine and they actually execute
without any problems. The documentation for version 2.0 is superb.
They included a lot of information about the system itself (ie. the
header files, the systems calls, etc. which was completely left out
of version 1.0). The organization of the documentation has been
greatly improved with cross-references and indexes that make
locating specific info a breeze. The OS is based on SYSTEM V and I
have had no trouble compiling programs that were designed for
SYSTEM V on XENIX. 

Anyone out there who is still running XENIX version 1.0 or is
interested in a unix for the AT I recommend IBM's new
XENIX. I'd give it a four star rating.
