S1 may be pure vaporware (excuse me, vapourware).  In June '85 I saw a
promotional leaflet for S1 which announced in large letters "UNIX IS A
DINOSAUR."  This was followed by a series of bombastic (wild, probably
exaggerated) claims for functionality and performance mixed with a 
viscious diatribe against UNIX.  I have no great love for UNIX, but
the intensity of the criticism was not justified.
