I think I read that it was based on CMU Mach -- is that right? It did seem for a while that a lot of things were based on Mach, but very few seemed to make it to market. NeXTstep and OSF/1, the only version of which to ship AFAIK was DEC OSF/1 AXP, later Digital UNIX, later Tru64. MkLinux didn't get very far, either, did it? -- Liam Proven - Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk - Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven - Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 - ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053
