From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Opus
  
      A {Honeywell} {operating system} promised
      as a sop to customers after canning {Multics} in 1985.   Opus
      was to provide everything Multics had and more, plus total
      compatibility with the {Level 6}/{DPS6} operating system.
  
      "Opus" was a code name, the system was officially named VS3
      (short for HVS R3 or Honeywell Virtual System Release Three).
      It was to run on the {DPS6-plus} hardware known internally as
      the MRX and HRX, and be all things to all people.
  
      The hardware was a dud (though it did run the native DPS6
      software just fine), and the goal was, shall we say,
      ambitious.   The effort was cancelled by {Bull} in 1987, in
      favor of another project going on in France.
