In September 80 Communications of the ACM there is an article titled "A Virtual Operating System" by Dennis E. Hall, Deborah K. Scherrer, and Joseph S. Sventek all of LBL. This article defines a minimal set of virtual machine primitives and lists implemented utilities that emulate many of the utilities found in Unix. The primitives and utilities were implemented on a very wide variety of machines and operating systems. What is the current status of this project? Is it now an available product? We are interested in extending this work to support porting the AUGMENT Twenex system to UNIX. What is the best way to find a UNIX consultant in the silicon valley area? -- kirk
