Well, while browsing in our local bookshop, I came across the following:

"Pulse: An Ada-based distributed operating system", by D. Keefe, I.C. Wand,
G.M. Tomlinson & A.J. Wellings, Academic Press.

The authors (from the University of York) claim that PULSE includes the "best"
features af UNIX.

Maybe you won't have to wait too long.
