2.20 XENIX

Summary: A simple SORTing program (not shown here) using a USING/GIVING construct to SORT a 1-megabyte data file consistently generates an “Illegal Release” run-time error under IBM XENIX Version 2.0. The failure still occurs on an SCO XENIX Version 2.1.3 system, but it is more inconsistent. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
