Covert (covertr@gtephx) Don't know if this is what you are referring to or not, but in the 6/13/88 issue of InfoWorld was an article on work on Intermedia at Brown University. I think they used a "Toolbox Emulator" like the one you mention. The text reads, in part: "The system originally was created for the IBM RT PC under Unix 4.2 (with a Macintosh-like user interface) using Cadmac, a Mac application framework from Cadmus. However, with the advent of Apple's A/UX and multitasking, the Brown team was able to move part of the system to the Macintosh II." So, Cadmac may be the product you were referring to. -- Tim Northrup +------------------------------------------+ +---------------------------------+ GEnie: T.Northrup | UUCP: uunet!crdgw1!brspyr1!tim | Air Warrior: "Duke" | ARPA: tim@brspyr1.BRS.Com +------------------------------------------+
