A while ago (June '90) there was an article which appeared here which 
contained a list of known Distributed/Parallel Operating Systems 
(Commercial and Academic) with a crude description of each and a contact 
person/company for each.  What I would like to know is has anyone kept
this list up to date, and if so could you please mail me a copy.

More importantly, could anyone please give me contact addresses of
people, companies and universities doing R&D work on any of the following ?
  Mach,       Amoeba,    Topaz,     MPX,       QIX,          Peace,     
  Trollius,   Helios,    Chorus,    Plan-9,    TransIDRIS

The reason for all this is that I am trying to do an article on the current
trends of Parallel Operating systems on shared and distributed memory
multi-processor machines.  I am interested in what standards are appearing,
architectural compatability, scaleabilty (# of processors -limit?), 
efficiency etc etc.  Anyone who has that sort of information, please
let me know and if possible email me what you can.  Once complete I will
post the article on the trends back here for your collective info.

Thanks
