Is this what I think it is? the anitmatter version of Un*x?

1) Is it available? (Unlike A/UX, for example...)
2) How much does it cost?
   a) How much do updates cost?
   b) How much does support cost?
3) Where can we order it from?
4) What sort of implementation of Un*x is it (Berkeley?, SYS V)?
   a) what do you get (editors, compilers, devel facility)?
   b) Is there support for NFS? or other Networking protocols?
5) Does it or will it support the X Window System or NeWs?
6) What kind of Mac configuration is required? (ie Pmmu?, Memory,Disk space)
7) Does it co-exist with MultiFinder? Or run under Finder only or what?

There, I think that ought to cover it...
