AT&T ANNOUNCES *** AT&T today announced that Plan 9, a new computer
operating system from AT&T Bell Laboratories, is now available for
research and educational use.  The Plan 9 operating system, named for the
science-fiction cult movie "Plan 9 From Outer Space," was designed by the
inventors of the UNIX system, a widely used operating system created at
Bell Labs 25 years ago.  "Plan 9 is not in competition with UNIX or
Windows," said Paul Fillinich, marketing manager for AT&T Software
Solutions.  The Plan 9 system is based on the concept of distributed
computing in a networked, client-server environment.  The product,
including source code, is available for $350.  The full kit will be
shipped with a CD-ROM, four diskettes and two manuals.  A partial kit,
containing only the manuals, may be ordered separately for $125.  The
contact number in the U.S. for information and orders is 800-462-8146;
elsewhere, +1-415-943-4076.
