- It is true. It is called AOS (academic operating system). IBM only
- distrubted it to Universities.

- But, it is owned by IBM. That is, it would be illegal to give you a
- copy of it. IBM doesn't support or distribute it anymore, but I sure
- run it on my machine (since I'm affiliated with CMU, it's ok).
