NOTE: While ChronOS is freely available under the GPL, it is actively used for classwork at Virginia Tech. Therefore, to prevent cheating, the full source code is not made available for direct download. Please email the current maintainer and we will happily supply the username/password. We realize this is a terrible solution, and are working to find a better one. The full code can be found in our repository.
