- There are papers on Chorus available through anonymous ftp
- from cse.ogi.edu. For more commercial information please
- contact Chorus Inc. 503 690 2300 (in Portland).
-
- Chorus is System V. We do have a BSD compatible system
- that we use for some research but all of our products are
- V4. The joint Chorus-SCO product will be based on
- Chorus MiX 3.2 which is system V 3.2 compatible.
-
- Our other products are USL compatible. In terms of utilities
- and tools if it works on System V that you get from USL
- it should work on the version of MiX (our Unix) that you get from us.

- If you have questions on university access or research program
- please write to Rodger Lea rodger@chorus.com
