Did some of the Taligent codebase end up in SUN's Java implementation,

I encourage you to add to the story of Taligent. I remember at the
time Taligent gained a lot of press attention, particularly when Apple
was struggling with what to do with their operating system and Pink
was seen as the answer.
It's a time I'd rather forget. ;-) I still have the scars from some of the
"discussions".
