Interactive ported System III to the IBM PC/XT under a contract with
IBM. It implements small model (64K everything) and "mini"-model
(64K code, 64K data/heap/stack) ala pdp-11's.

with 512K memory, it runs quite quickly secure. Its C compiler
produces efficient code, and overall is a nice single user system.
Of course assembler code can cause it to crap out, but this is
part of the pudding.
