It is an uK. I have a complete set of doc but I don’t think I have the code at this
point. Fyi AT&T was supposed to use Chorus for SVR5 but it never shipped. The chorus
folks opened an office in Portland Or. iirc Michel Gien moved out there for a bit. [We
were working for both OSF and ATT at Locus. Fun times. ]
Sent from my PDP-7 Running UNIX V0 expect things to be almost but not quite.

Apparently Chorus was not "unix" until the SOL team joined them in 1984!
Its nucleus seem very much like a microkernel.

For example there was Bull’s Chorus which I seem to recall was based on Mach or a
competing microkernel (it was a very long time ago and I used it for no mare than about
two hours..).
Close, not quite. Contemporaries but not the same.
Chorus was a C++ rewrite of Gien's Pascal based 'SOL' systems [Gien M.

‘83 USENIX Conference, Toronto, Canada, July, 1983, Pages 75-78.]
