Plan 9 was the host system while developing the PIX.
If the current license had been available in 1995 there would be
some small parts of Plan 9 code in the PIX.  The code structure
of the PIX is closer to the Oberon system than Plan 9.

do you mean that Plan 9 was the host system, while developing the PIX
as a target system, or that Plan 9 was the target system _in_ the PIX?
