It draws a lot from the concepts of RT-11. It seems very well put together. The whole thing, utilities and all, is written by one person, Tim Williams. The documentation is done by his brother Chris. Tim works for himself but is part owner, along with Howard Sidorsky and Chris Langewis, of the distributor /maintainer of Oasis which is: Phase One Systems 7700 Edgewater Drive Oakland CA 94621 (415) 562-8085 There are currently two versions.
