Two interesting things I notice about their website:

1) "The latest TWIN series is 3.1, initially released Aug 19, 1997"

:)

2) "Willows is funded by Canopy Group"

which is Ray Noorda's (ex-Novell) VC company that also funds Caldera and
the embedded spinoff of Caldera that I can't think of the name right
now. All these companies are anti-Microsoft/Windows Torpedos in one way
or another.
