Most of the sysi86 functionality is a hack Sean Eric Fagan put together for the call that does math coprocessor detection; specifically, it was as a result of a bug report that I made when I was running WSU's SVR3 Lotus 1-2-3, Word Perfect, and Sybase packages under IBCS2. Basically, sysi86 is what SCO calls their VM86() interface to allow protected mode programs to make DOS calls.
