Definitely glad to see efforts to reverse-engineer this software.

Cool...

For the curious there is a good walk-through of Venix/86 2.1 being
installed here on the MESS emulator:

Yea, this is where I got the XT version that's in my repo :) I've been working with the Rainbow mess emulator author to get the Rainbow version working..

Has anyone established whether all the various Venix releases have
been found and which of the add-on tools have been found? like the
Fortran and RM/COBOL referenced on wikipedia?

I have none of them. I just have Venix... I'd love to see them...
