	For those people who don't receive alt.folklore.computers:

	What DEMOS is:

	We are a co-operative - that is a group-private enterprise -
	formed by a bunch of programmers who were involved in the
	development of UNIX-compatibles for a variety of Soviet-made
	(Western-compatible, partially compatible, non-compatible
	and that doesn't look very computerish for westerners) computers.
	The name DEMOS was a generic name for these OSes. It is

	1) A Russian abbreviation for the 'Interactive Unified Portable
	   Operating System'

	2) (ancient Greek) People, citizens.
