Merge is bundled for free in the UnixWare Personal Edition...
It works pretty good, too.

Because with the Server Merge for Windows add-on (on the order of $300
extra, as I recall) I can run a DOS or Windows app on my UnixWare machine,
on the Sparc across the room, or on the X-terminal upstairs via X.
If/when the freeware OSes offer this sort of functionality they will be viable
for us...
