Reaching back into my "packrat" file from when I was at PR1ME , HCR/Toronto
was doing the majority of the work, and were having problems getting
PRIMIX to ride smoothly on top of PRIMOS.

An earlier, limited attempt at an emulation was the "Software Tools
Subsystem" done at Georgia Institue of Technology.  The document I have
on this is from the School of Information and Computer Science, is dated
April 1982, and carries the number "GIT-ICS-82/05" on the title page.  It
is approx. 100 single-sided pages long.

Good luck - PRIMOS is their chosen route.
