I don't know if anyone in the newsgroup has seen the source to UW
and UW*.VAX, but I thought I'd go ahead and throw this question out...

The impression I've got right now is that all of the UW host support
software is specifically written for 4.x BSD Unix.  How difficult
would it be to port the code to work on AT&T System V release 2 or 3?
I know that the BSD protocol for job control is different from System
V... what I don't know is if something like System V's "shl" facility
could be used as a reasonable facsimile.  Is there any way that I
could get the source for all the software -- the host tools as well as
the Atari program?

Any thoughts, comments, or (best of all) answers?  I've got an itch to
get this thing going on an NCR Tower 32/800... :-)
