The README mentioned a number of versions.  Check mgr.bellcore.com for the
official archive.  And I'm tracing down the last bugs/buglets in a re-port
to SCO Xenix and SCO Unix --- the official port exists but has problems (like
a nasty race condition in a certain piece of code that causes it to dump core
just at the time you need its capabilities most...).  I have hopes that that
port will move to other 386 Unixes fairly easily, although with SCO one can
never count on portability.
