I'm in touch with all the principal authors (Holmgren/Bunch/Grossman) and they do not have source code.

If I'm not mistaken Chesson has passed away a few years ago;

Yes.

I assume I should consider these archives lost?

I hope not, but enough people like Larry might be able to talk to his family.

That is an interesting lead. Any suggestion where I might start to look? (I know of http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Applications/, the Shoppa and Spencer tapes, but Network Unix does not seem to be on these tapes).

I believe you. The trick is to just keep asking. It was around the Arpanet. Some of the Rand folks would be a good lead also.
