I was cleaning one of my bookcases out and found a DDJ tucked in
between two binders. May, 1994.
There's an article about a "roll your own 32-bit OS" called MMURTL.
A quick google shows:
http://www.ipdatacorp.com/mmurtl.htm and
http://www.ipdatacorp.com/mmpd.html
Dave Dunfield may know more about MMURTL's current state, as his name
is mentioned in connection with it.
A funny from the same DDJ was an article with the lede "Will we gain
portability at the expense of performance?" Answer: not really,
we'll just lose performance at the expense of creeping featurism--
even Macs are x86 now.
