Indeed.

"Abandonware" is a misleading term invented by people who either don't understand, or don't care about, other people's property rights.

I'm surprised the site hasn't gotten endless DMCA notices by now. ;)

Maybe we need a HECnet search-engine :)

Oh really?   How bizarre.   What platform(s)?

Not sure.   I assume for Xenix.   I never got that far with it.

Hello!
More then likely. It was the one OS that Microsoft couldn't sell, and
can't remember doing so. In fact when it was running, I knew of only
one platform that successfully ran it. And I'm not going to name the
company who built it.


Dave stop doing that. I can see you from here. You know, that odd
looking car with its top up? Yes that is the one. Inside is a
gentleman with curly gray hair, and a very amused expression most
times, and a young lady who's bored out of her mind.
