The Plan 9 operating system, named for the science-fiction cult movie "Plan 9 From Outer Space," was designed by the inventors of the UNIX system, a widely used operating system created at Bell Labs 25 years ago. "Plan 9 is not in competition with UNIX or Windows," said Paul Fillinich, marketing manager for AT&T Software Solutions. The Plan 9 system is based on the concept of distributed computing in a networked, client-server environment. The product, including source code, is available for $350. The full kit will be shipped with a CD-ROM, four diskettes and two manuals. A partial kit, containing only the manuals, may be ordered separately for $125. The contact number in the U.S. for information and orders is 800- 462-8146; elsewhere, +1-415-943-4076. -- Larry Cipriani, l.v.cipriani@att.com Ever feel like you're being watched ? -- You will.
