DECUS does have a C compiler for RSX though. The DEC PDP-11 UNIX product used to be called something like UNIX V7M-11 but the name may have been changed to ULTRIX-11. You may be able to sublicense UNIX from an OEM, although they usually want to sell you the hardware too. There are some UNIX "look-alikes" available, and one of these may keep you happy. Every so often they are reviewed in one of the glossy UNIX trade magazines. I hesitate to mention any since I may well inadvertently leave some out, but I will mention that the first UNIX look-alike commercially available seems to have been Whitesmith's IDRIS.
