Quoting Gregg Levine <gregg.drwho8(a)gmail.com>:
Hello!
Wasn't the original project called "Athena", and wasn't it pursued
by
one of the many Labs at MIT? I remember going over it in a big way
about the same time I started being an almost serious kernel hacker,
and that was while the kernel created by Linus was using BitKeeper as
its source control mechanism. This was around the turn of the century.
Oddly enough I also pursued and engaged a company who attempted to
combine an early X release with thier DOS based multitasking tool. The
discussion was rewarding, but it did not save the company.
DeskView/X? I came across that in the early nineties and thought it sounded promising, but
as I heard
nothing more of it after a while I thought, they've gone under.

No clue. Did a quick search and didn't find it.
