MACSYMA should have a 4.2BSD version this summer.  Current
prices, for 4.1BSD, are $11K binary, $200K source.

They don't have a System V port, because MACSYMA needs a minimum
of 6.3 Meg to run, which basically means paging.  USG should
have  a paging system eventually; in the  mean time, we have a
'Maxi-UNIX', which is System V running on top of an IBM 370,
so there are 8 Meg processes and lots of speed.
(Yes, the source really costs $200K.  I  wanted to port it to  System V
until I  heard the  price.)
