  I have said this to people inside UNISYS (mostly hotline techs) more
  times than I can count, and I know about a couple of the transfinite
  integers.  This afternoon, for the first time, someone from INSIDE
  Unisys said, in effect, "watch this space...".  Definitely, the
  conversation was off the record, but I pass on this interesting
  statement for the enticement of the newsgroup.

  Someone has pointed out to me that CTOS has had, for the past 10
  years, most of what OS/2 is blowing its horn about.  The same
  person pointed out to me that CTOS III, when realeased ("real soon
  now") will have the rest, with all of the benefits of CTOS, and very
  few of the disadvantages of OS/2 (whatever that means...)

  Does somebody who really knows about CTOS want to write an article
  for BYTE and PC Magazine?  Might make a couple of people sit up and
  take notice before they kill the article...
