  BEOS
       Be Operating System (OS), "BeOS"
       
       

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:



  BeOS
       
           The {operating system} originally designed
          to run on the {BeBox} {microcomputer}.  BeOS is good at both
          {multitasking} and {real-time} operation.  It has a {bash}
          command shell, with ports of many {GNU} programs by Be, Inc.
          It has a {GUI} front end (not {X}).  A {C++} {compiler} is
          supplied with the machine, and there are rumours of other
          languages being ported in the future.
       
          BeOs eventually became used on the {x86} and
          standard {PPC}.
       
          Be, Inc. went bankrupt in 1999, after releasing the last
          upgrade of BeOS (R5.0.3), and was sold to {Palm}.
       
          Several groups are currently (2003) attempting to create an R6
          version of the OS.  The most likely to succeed are {Yellowtab}
          and {OpenBeOS}, which is likely to be renamed.
