Hi
I'm wondering if anybody knows what happened with this? (Besides the
fact it crashed and burnt. I mean, where are the source trees?)

It was a Macintosh clone that reverse-engineered the Mac interface and
appearance, using the X Window System as the GUI library - what in
Macs of that era was locked into the Mac system BIOS.
As such, it's an interesting use of the X Window System.

I hadn't heard of this before. I wonder if it used the mlvwm (Mac-like
Virtual Window Manager). Around 1995 a friend of mine installed Linux on
a Sun box and ran the mlvwm just to confuse people. Our Unix user group
did a few demos and we'd bring it along.
