Yep, and it's still available for PC compatibles. It's a multi-user
system (with little or no support for graphics), and has a multi-user
BASIC, as well as C compiler and assembler.
I actually owned a version of this for a while... biggest problem with
the current version is that 1) it's not cheap (several hundred dollars
for the OS and development kit), and 2) it's hardware-protected via a
dongle (or it was when I used it).
On the other hand, it's a complete multi-user OS that comes on just a
few floppies and has very nice documentation (several very thick
books).
I'm not sure how you can recreate the install system from an installed
version.

Said to be *nix/CPM-ish but is neither? A friend has an old 5150 with
this installed on the HD. He wants to copy it off and preserve it.
