- I had a similar problem when trying out OS/2. I solved it by making a script
- to make patched copies of the 'dos' file to boot other partitions. It works
- for SCO Unix 3.2.2 and 3.2.4 dos files but I do know that the Xenix 2.3.2
- dos file is the same as in Unix 3.2.2 so others probably are too.
-
- I think this gets over the piracy problem!
