Cedar is being ported to Unix; someone gave a talk at MIT (which I
missed, drats) on the incremental compiler/debugger system for Cedar.
I remember the interesting phrase "the Cedar portable runtime."  Yeah,
runtime was being used as a noun.  I believe there was implication
that Cedar was going to be WIDELY available...

I gotta give Xerox credit; they also came up with the best names
for hardware and software releases; I loved "Intermezzo."
