Coherent is a clone of the Unix operating system for IBM PC compatibles and other microcomputers, developed and sold by the now-defunct Mark Williams Company (MWC). Historically, the operating system was a proprietary product, but it became open source in 2015, released under a 3-clause BSD License.

Well, i have a large intrest in OS development, and would love to work on something that is existing, instead of building from scratch.
- Make build simpler
- Make Installing from CD Possible (if not already)
- Attempt to add some extra hardware support
- Clean Up Source Files
- Fix all the Makefiles
- Well.. the entire SRC is a complete mess, nightmare fuel IMO
- No clue how on earth to build the thing with how scattered the SRC all is
- Makefiles are out-of-date and do not function
My current working tree (based on mwc/romana/relic/d)
Documentation (Kinda confusing though)
Orignal Files Provided, such as backups of old versions
