This is not a Microsoft Xenix binary, contrary to what file
claims.

This is an SCO Xenix binary.  It's not going to work unless you
make an execution class loader for the a.out magic number, add
the system call entry point mechanism for it, and then emulate
the system calls we don't support, and provide stub-calls for the
onces we do support, with appropriate translation of any manifest
constant values that differ between FreeBSD and Xenix.

Do you have a Xenix system with the developement kit?  This would
be a trivial project for someone who knew FreeBSD and had access
to a Xenix developement system.

 Dear Sir,

 As per your suggestion, I installed the packages Compat 2.x, 3.x, and
 4.x
 But still I'm unable to use Foxplus which is a a.out binary. Here is
what
 I get

 $ foxplus
 /usr/lib/foxplus/no87: 1: Syntax error: newline unexpected (expecting ))
 /usr/lib/foxplus/foxplus.pr: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting
 ))
 $ file /usr/lib/foxplus/no87
 /usr/lib/foxplus/no87: Microsoft a.out separate pure segmented
word-swapped
 V2.3 V3.0 286 small model executable Large Text Large Data
 $ file /usr/lib/foxplus/foxplus.pr
 /usr/lib/foxplus/foxplus.pr: Microsoft a.out separate pure segmented

stripped

 Please suggest.
