The only way I know to access Xenix file systems is under
OpenServer. It's been years since I did it though, and I don't
have manuals handy. If I remember correctly you have to run
something kile ``mkdev xenix'' before running ``mkdev hd'' to
enable Xenix file system support on OpenServer.

design flaws stay the same.
