If it clearly says "test drive" (or somesuch), I wouldn't see any problems
with it being archived at, say, osu-cis.  I just checked the AT&T Software
Products Catalog and the 1988 UNIX Products Directory and could not find
PEGASYS or any variation of that name, so maybe it never made it to market.

My recollection is that some company in Alameda or Berkeley (Calif.) was
developing a product by that name some time ago, maybe what you have is it.
If there's a company name or phone number in that "test drive"'s docs, you
may wish to contact them and see what THEY say!
