That would make sense. SysV is about twenty years old, and its status
as an ultra-holy reliquary of trade secrets and whatnot has been
severely dented by Sun's open-sourcing of Solaris.
If anyone knows who to contact at Attachmate, I'd say, go for the
full bag, of Research Unix and commercial Unix.

While the subject of historical stuff has been

Attachmate is the current owner these days, aren't they?
I'm sure they, Novell, AT&T, and Lucent all don't care. But
someone's still got to sign the line. I'm really hoping to see
v10x86, like v7x86 someday!!
I've got a copy of v8 I'd love to make available some day, and I know
there are at least one or two copies of v10 still in existence. last
I heard, there was no v9.
Anyone here know anybody at Attachmate?
Many thanks!

Great to hear there still exist copies of later research Unices.
We should definitely ask for an extension of the Ancient UNIX License
(possibly to include SysIII or even SysV as well?).
