    Hi,

    After talking to Tim King, the founder and CEO of perihelion, he has
    sent me about 90% of the helios source code. Included, is LaTex-based manuals as well as the "Helios Parallel Operating System" book. Unfortunately, the source code has a lot of copyrighted material from
    other companies (e.g. the cc compiler is actually Norcroft C http://www.codemist.tc/ncc/), so I highly doubt I can release it. I am missing some source code like the source to XWindows, C++, and a lot of others. But I do have binaries of Helios 1.3.1 which is the last
    version of Helios! I will be putting together a 1.3.1 official release
    in the coming weeks once I PDF all the documents. Once this is done, I
    am planning on releasing a new 1.4alpha with some modifications. I am planning on adding the following support:

    Windows 9x/2000 with winsock ethernet support
    Linux support
    FreeBSD support
    Solaris support

    Stay tuned,

    Ram

    Double-posting doesn't make the lost easier... really.
    You can try getting a grip on Ram, but he seems to be online only every other quarter or so... my assumption is, that "V1.4alpha" was his idea of an own distribution, adding the listed stuff.

    So instead of chasing ghosts, what about joining the living? http://www.geekdot.com/category/helios/helios-ng/
