Multics is indeed still in use.  Our two-processor L68/80 Multics is over
13 years old now, but stuck at release MR10.2 forever.  Honeywell Bull
dropped plans to build new faster hardware to support Multics, and was
involved with the University of Calgary in investigating moving key
systems software to Unix, as a migration path.  I sure would love to
have vfile_ running under Unix!
