TRON (The Real Time Operating System Nucleus)                   	11
     David K. Kahaner

          TRON is a large and long term project to develop a computer
          operating system along with a global man-machine interface that
          can work with many other computer operating systems.  Its main
          focus is to provide an environment for a very large number of
          small distributed computers to cooperate in real time.
