There's at least one large MULTICS system running out there.  It is at
the University of Calgary.  At least it's still on their Develnet, and
appears to be running MR12 or something.  I heard a rumor that they
were busy helping Honeywell convert a lot of the Multics software to
run under Unix (i.e. writing a PL/1 compiler for Unix :-).  I don't
have a valid account anymore, so that's all I can tell you.  :-<
