There was a partial implementation under Bell UNIX by a long-defunct company
called Cadmus. The idea was to make it 95% source code compatible with the
Macintosh, so Mac applications could be readily ported to the CadMac UNIX
workstation. No one did and the project flopped. Last I heard, Apple had
bought up the software to prevent competition, but this is not confirmed.
