I'm aware of that, and thanks Larry, for a pointer to the article.
What would interest me would be a copy of the source tree - any chance of
that, or is it no longer extant?

I've personally thought that Sun should release
the source trees of its
old BSD-based SunOS with the idea of getting back onside with all the
Linux and Unix people it pissed off by its "buying" a "Unix" license
from SCO, the Societe Commercial du On-Dit, the Commercial Society of
Rumourmongers.
Don't hold your breath. Even SunOS 4.1.x had large chunks of System V
Release 3 code in it: all the STREAMS stuff and RFS worked in that
environment (not that anyone ever used it). Also all of /usr/5bin,
/usr/5lib etc.
