Browsing the NeXTWorld magazine, I saw Ted Nelson's Xanadu listed in the software catalog as 'coming soon'. Did that ever get released, and is it available?
Hi BillAnderson,
could not find any trace of Xanadu in any of the ancient NeXT Archives.
Thank you @nuss. I've read much about Xanadu, but never heard of it used in production. The mention of it in NeXTWorld was very Jobsian. That man sure could sell the dream.
What was it supposed to be?

It was the first Hypertext system, had some really interesting ideas on storage and linking.
