[TUHS] Re: Setting up an X Development Environment for Mac OS

["Charles H Sauer (he/him)" <sauer@technologists.com>]

The decision to end AOS was made sometime in 1H88 and the group of us 
that defined the "convergence" was formed. Our work must have been 
largely complete when I presented our plans at Berkeley 11/88 at a 
workshop that coincided with the Morris worm. I assume we submitted the 
Uniforum 89 paper 
(https://technologists.com/sauer/Convergence_of_AIX_and_4.3BSD.pdf) 
about then, as well.
