My Menu*Maestro* binaries are all 5.0/COFF; I've never *seen* a Xenix
binary.  Did they even build Maestro for Xenix?  I thought 2.3.4 was
EOL before Maestro came out.

Now, Menu*Master*, yes, *lots* (approaching 1.0) of those are Xenix.  I
can't say whether *current* Linux-ABI can run those; I haven't any to
test with.  *Early* (ca Linux 2.0-2.2) ABI is known not to.
