Last call for success reports on C-Kermit 5A.  Well, not really the
last, but the last to meet a publication deadline.  The ones I haven't
heard about yet include the following.  Some of them are kind of
obscure, so no big deal, but others might be so common that nobody
bothered to report them?

Please include complete computer manufacturer name, complete computer
model, complete OS name and release, which makefile entry you used,
and the ls -l size (stripped or unstripped).  Here's the list of
unknowns that I know about (feel free to send any other reports too --
we can't have too many):

VAX (or other?) with vanilla 4.1, 4.2, or 4.3 BSD.
PDP-11, Perkin-Elmer, Interdata, etc, with Bell Laboratories UNIX 7th Edition
PDP-11 with 2.4, 2.9, or 2.10 BSD (we have 2.11)
Alliant, any model, with any release of Concentrix
Altos 486, 586, 986 with Xenix 3.0
Atari ST with MINIX ST 1.5.10.3
Charles River Data Systems Universe 680x0 with UNOS
Data General Aviion with DG/UX 4.3x
FPS 500 with FPX 4.1
IBM 370-series mainframes with AIX/370, any release
IBM RT PC with ACIS (= BSD) 4.2 or 4.3
Intel 302 with Bell Tech System V/386 R3.2
NCR System 3000 with AT&T UNIX System V R4 2.0
NCR Tower 32 with OS 1.x and 2.x
NCR Tower 1632 or Minitower with System V R2
OkiStation 7300 Series
PCs with Consensys UNIX SV/386 R4V3
PCs with Mt Xinu Mach386
PCs with SCO Xenix/286 or any other 286 UNIX version
PFU Compact A Series
Ridge 32 with ROS
Samsung MagicStation with System V R4
Sequent Balance with DYNIX 3.0
Silicon Graphics with pre-4.0 releases of IRIX
Solbourne computers with OS/MP 4.0 and 4.1
Suns with SunOS 3.x or earlier
Tektronix XD88 series with UTekV OS
Tri Star Flash Cache with Esix SVR3.2
UNISYS 5000 with UTS V R5.2 or 5.3

Also, what's this Univel I've been reading about (some kind of "cheap"
stripped-down Novell + USL System V R4 UNIX for PCs)?  Has anybody seen
it?  Has anyone tried building C-Kermit for it (perhaps impossible because
there is no development environment)?  Or running some other System V R4
PC-based C-Kermit binary on it?

Thanks!

P.S. The list of successful UNIX compilations has about 190 entries already,
including many new ones I had never heard of before.  Will publish the list
shortly.
