  There may be a way to do this with XENIX, but I don't think so (I wouldn't
bet any money on it). What I have done for my customers that want to run both
(MS)PC/DOS is to set the machine up so that it boots XENIX as the default, then
I make a floppy that they can put in drive A: when they want to boot DOS. Below
is an example of what I would do.

	1.  First load XENIX (UNIX) on drive C:
	2.  Format and load DOS on drive D:
	3.  Format a floppy disk with system and install the following 
  	    AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the floppy disk (ie: DOS commands will be
            located in D:\DOS)

	--------AUTOEXEC.BAT-------

ECHO OFF
CLS
VERIFY ON
PATH=D:\;D:\DOS
PROMPT $P $G
D:
CD \

	------End of File------

I hope this helps you out...
