The HyperUnix Project* 

	Presently we are working on porting 4.2BSD Unix to the UNMHC**,
	the U. of New Mexico Hypercube (under development, too).  Each
	node runs its own instance of a kernel.  Interesting features
	of the OS is support of high speed communication links to
	adjacent nodes, dual processor support (we have TWO CPUs on each
	node and they are not the same CPU!).  We also have multilayered
	communications which are accessible to applications.

	Future work:  distributed operating systems, distributed
	   filesystems (any ideas of what to do with a hypercube of
	   filesystems?).

	For more information, please contact me at the address given. 

* This work is support by Los Alamos National Laboratory (MEE-10).
