There are certainly things about it that haven't been matched in  
modern operating systems.   Too bad it was all done in PDP-10 machine  
code.   However, last time I ran it on Stu's simulator, I noticed a  
lot of things about it that I had forgotten.   It was amazing for its  
time, but in general I'm happier on a NetBSD system nowadays (although  
I do miss PCL).
