The source is in danger of being lost unless I'm successful over the
next six months. The Manalapan, NJ site where a great deal of Ultrix
work was done will be closing soon and employees moved to other location
and otherwise. I volunteered to take the old tape archives and transfer
the source code to CD-ROM for preservation. I don't know if there are
any other copies in Nashua, NH, where the remainder of the work was done.

While working at the Biomedical Research Institute (Madrid, Spain) I got a
quote from DEC for access to Ultrix source code. As I remember it, it wasn't
that expensive (~1000$ for an academic license) and I mused bout acquiring
it for some time. My naïvete at the time prevented me from ordering it (that
and the availability of BSD sources).
But I'd feel pretty sure that at that price many source licenses must have
been sold. Maybe there are still copies lying around and you can find
someone to send you a copy back.
Sure, it would be nicer to maintain the whole development log and versions.
