This is about as UNofficial as it can be, but from the point of a computer
system ``user'' UNIX/RT was a **PIG**. It may have been great for certain
applications, but it certainly did NOT make a good general time-sharing
system!
Another point is that the whole system was riddled with bugs. I had the
opportunity to work with some of the RT folks (on a few of the bugs) and my
impression was that they were a small group of people that were just
overloaded. Apparently the "management" decision was that RT wasn't worth the
effort to "rescue" it.
