MachTen is a Unix-like operating system from Tenon Intersystems. It is
based on 4.4BSD and the Mach kernel, and features the X Window System
and GNU programming tools. It runs only as a classic Mac OS
application program (in a virtual machine) on Apple Macintosh
computers.
MachTen development started in 1989, culminating in the first release
in 1991. The Professional MachTen branch, intended for 68000-based
Macintoshes, ended with release 2.3. The Power MachTen branch, which
is Power Macintosh compatible, lacks some of the features of
Professional MachTen (including true virtual and protected memory
models), but takes full advantage of the PowerPC processor and is
compatible with Mac OS 9 through its final version, 4.1.4. MachTen is
no longer developed, and is functionally superseded by Mac OS X.
