This rang a bell with me as something on Digital (DEC) computers. A
quick google shows it was originally for VAX/VMS (which was not Unix!)
and was from Access Technologies. Take a look here:

The article suggests it was made available for DECwindows and so could
have been on either VMS, Ultrix or even Digital Unix.
Regards,
Tony.
