I saw a product called MacIDRIS at MacWorld by a company
called Whitesmiths Australia.  IDRIS is purported to be
a POSIX compatible OS for the Mac which will run in 1M
with 5M of disk space and do multi-tasking.

Has anybody used IDRIS?  Is it any good (say compared to
A/UX)?  What would it be userful for?
