All the recent discussion of public domain operating systems brings
to mind Pilot Project SOL.  This is/was a project of Agence de l'Informatique
and INRIA i9n France to produce a non-AT&T UN*X. It was to be written
in PASCAL (!), but a C compiler was intended, along with system call
compatibility to allow UN*X C programs to be run. The  68000 was one
target machine.

I don't know the current status of SOL, but those interested might
contact                 Club SOL

I'm sure that English is well understood the ADI (a French govt agency).
Some years ago I met Robert Mahl, then President of Club SOL, his English
was good.

I'd be interested to hear the current status of this project.
