   BONE is  [B]e[O]S [N]etworking [E]nvironment.  Be, Inc. was   
   rewriting the networking layer of BeOS in preparation for   
   BeOS v5.1.  They made it more complient with Unix/Linux, but   
   it was never 100% completed.  A leaked version numbered "7A"   
   found its way around the community.   
      
   Printing... Be, Inc. was also rewriting the printing module   
   for BeOS v5.1, but like BONE, it was never completed.   
      
   While you can find BONE 7A on BeShare, if you install it into   
   BeOS v5.03, you'll find that your printing fails due to an   
   interaction between BONE and printing.  There is a fix for this   
   also on BeShare that updates the printer prefs. or definitions.   
      
   Also, there is a leaked copy of a beta of BeOS 5.1 called   
   Dano/Exp, also on BeShare (it id's itself as v5.10d)  Dano   
   contains a copy of BONE, but not the 7a version.
