What has happened to the Virtual Operating System?

In September 80 Communications of the ACM there is an article titled "A Virtual 
Operating System" by Dennis E. Hall, Deborah K. Scherrer, and Joseph S. Sventek 
all of LBL.  This article defines a minimal set of virtual machine primitives 
and lists implemented utilities that emulate many of the utilities found in 
Unix.  The primitives and utilities were implemented on a very wide variety of 
machines and operating systems.

What is the current status of this project?  Is it now an available product?  We
are interested in extending this work to support porting the AUGMENT Twenex 
system to UNIX.  What is the best way to find a UNIX consultant in the silicon 
valley area?
