From: Stephen Wolff <steve@brl-bmd> It runs an OS called `Zeus' that is "just like UNIX". Anyone know anything about this beast? For starters, what flavor of UNIX is Zeus "just like"? A co-op student friend has been given one to install and manage for the local office of a LARGE Federal agency. He says it is to support twenty users, plus a couple of typewriters (!) .............

#R:sri-arpa:-1704100:uokvax:6100025:000:646 uokvax!clay Mar 9 16:02:00 1984 I think I know which "LARGE Federal agency" your friend is talking about; I work for one also, using the same stuff. Zeus is based on System III, with all the goodies from Berkeley one needs to stay sane (vi, csh, termcap, etc.). Everything seems to work okay; it's a little slow with any more than nine or so users, though. We have three Zilog 8000/31's so far, and I'll be setting up another in a few weeks. Tell your friend that if he'll tell the name of his org- organization, I'll tell the name of mine! I'd like to swap hints with someone running the same type of system.
