Last *I* heard (a few minutes ago from AT&T UNIX #: (800) 828-UNIX), you *can* get source (you can also write new templates), and is distributed for all 3B's and all Vaxes. And what's the problem with separate and extra cost? That's the way you sell operating systems; everybody does that. It doesn't make sense to sell one monolithic system. In SVR2, even the text processing tools are separate. So what? Michael Baldwin
