Tenon Intersystems is a year-old startup.  MachTen runs as a
MacOS application and is due out 1Q91.  Its a standard Mach
offering: BSD4.3/Mach2.5.

It needs 2Mb RAM, will (reportedly) run on the whole Mac family
providing you have a 20Mb hard disk.  In the US, 2-user licences
are $595, unlimited $835, docs $280.

I understand that a spokesperson from Apple was asked to comment, but
unfortunately the entire worldwide A/UX promotion and marketing dept has
left the company.
They are both seeking new positions, but unfortunately neither is answering
the telephone.  And even if they were, what's it to you bud?
