	It is not a Unix operating system, it is just a little bit similar.
It is multitasking and multi-user (by hooking more terminals to an AT or by
creating a LAN with other PCs).

> is anyone using this system?  How many systems do you have on

	I used the system, I had 2 PCs on the LAN. In general, since it is
a propriety OS, you can not find much software for it, there are many bugs,
the system is not friendly and the documentation is terrible.

	If you look in one of the previous issues (Jan 87?) of PC-Tech-Journal,
you will find a good detailed descrition of the OS.
