1) It's PC/GEOS from Berkeley Softworks.

2) It is not X Window compatible. The interface is based on Motif guidelines,
but that's as far as it goes.

3) It trashed two of my hard drives.

4) There are no apps for it. Why run a windowing environment without any
applications?

5) There is not a developer's kit available.
