Very cool. I have fond memories of Chorus, up until the time they were
aquired by Sun and dropped completely out of sight. Apparently it's now
the base OS for one of Sun's RT Java OS products. I don't know if this
ever made it past the vapour stage -- we (Cambridge U, at that time) had no
luck getting it, or indeed any information about it -- out of Sun ~18
months ago. Oh well.
