Here's an interesting note sent to me by Ken Dickey:
"... in a little-noticed move, Microsoft acquired Colusa Software Inc. in 1996. Colusa makes OmniVM, a multiple-language virtual machine." http://www.zdnet.com/intweek/stories/prtarchivestory/0,4356,367513,00.html

A search for "OmniVM" on the Web led me to a paper about it. It's called "Efficient and Language-Independent Mobile Programs" and you can find it here:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ali/papers.html
I won't come around to read it anytime soon, but maybe someone can have a look at it and share his insigts on the list.

Another paper on Omniware (of which the OmniVW seems to be a part) can be found at http://www.w3.org/Conferences/WWW4/Papers/165/. (The conference was in '95, btw.)
