“IBM, along with the Santa Cruz Operation and Sequent Computer
Systems, Wednesday offered an update on the progress of Monterey
project, which began last October….The new Unix version would
combine features from each developers’ own Unix variant into a
single product targeted for large-scale corporate use. The Monterey
project would run on Intel 32- and 64-bit chips as well as IBM’s
PowerPC architecture.”
“We have achieved our milestones and have made enormous
progress,” said Rajiv Samant, general manager of Unix for Armonk,
N.Y.-based IBM. He also said the Monterey project is on schedule
and due out later this year.”
“The work on this project comes as Linux, another variant of
Unix grows in importance in the corporate environment.”
