I don't know if anyone else in the world runs it, but we have (at least)
two copies running here. I have one on an XT at home and one of my
coworkers has it running on an AT. It seems to be a complete SysIII port
of the PDP11 version.

Because of the limitations on memory space, this is not the o/s to use
for development of large systems. However, small programs, all of the
utilities, etc, work just fine. It makes a nice cheap mail and uucp
server and is *dead solid* reliable, which is why we still run it. My
friend here has microport and xenix, but has had too many reliability
problems with them.

If you want to get in touch with him, he's at:
