Microsoft Announces XENIX OS
Microsoft announces Microsoft XENIX OS, a portable operating
system for 16-bit microprocessors. It is an interactive, multi-user,
multi-tasking system that will run on Intel 8086, Zilog Z8000, Motorola
M68000, and DEC PDP-11 series. All of Microsoft's existing system
software (COBOL, PASCAL, BASIC and DBMS) will be adapted to
run under the XENIX system, and all existing software written for
UNIX OS will be compatible as well.
