[Sorry, I know this is a little off-topic for either PDP-10 or VMS
newsgroups, but I thought I'd mention it anyway if it helps toward
the development of a VAX emulator.  I really like VMS myself, shock

It's no problem assuming you both have ancient UNIX source code
licenses.  You can get them for free by visiting SCO at this URL:

http://www.sco.com/offers/ancient.html

Once you've agreed to the terms, you can legally use any AT&T or BSD
derived UNIX in accordance with the license, and you can request
access to the UNIX Heritage Society's UNIX Archive to get old sources
at this URL:
