So the question is, does anyone have a UNIX 4.0 source tape?
Otherwise, I think it probably really is lost in the sands
of time.

alas, no.
it should have been on some official source tapes, tho.
it was part of some office automation set of software;
maybe that was mentioned in the tapes.
i too remember nothing about it. outside of doing it
because management wanted it, i never optionally used it.

Cool! I bet this was it! It was on a System 4 system.
The commands were entered at the top of the screen. I remember almost
nothing else about it.
Is there any chance you still have the source?
Thanks,
