Wasn't the original project called "Athena", and wasn't it pursued by one of the many Labs at MIT? I remember going over it in a big way about the same time I started being an almost serious kernel hacker, and that was while the kernel created by Linus was using BitKeeper as its source control mechanism. This was around the turn of the century. Oddly enough I also pursued and engaged a company who attempted to combine an early X release with thier DOS based multitasking tool. The discussion was rewarding, but it did not save the company. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
