Arnold, I agree, I do remember seeing it on what I think was the PWB 4.0
tape. IMHO: it was before cshell, termcap, vi et al was released inside of
the rest of the Bell System and there seemed to be sometimes "SW from BSD
be bad/crude" 'tude. IIRC ber and mmp must have had it running on the
Marx's brothers systems in Whippany. But he had vi, so I personally never
used it.
@Mary Ann - this would have been around the time you were in Columbus and
starting the terminfo work. Do you have any memories?

I used this on a USG UNIX 4.0 system ~ 1982 when I did some contract
programming at Southern Bell. I think it was originally written for
the Vax but it had been squeezed to run on a PDP-11/70 also.
I've mentioned this in the past, but it seems to been covered over
by the sands of time, and that nobody else ever used it.
