> The book says that source is available.  From where and how much?

The source is available from the publisher for $50 on 9 track tape.
The hitch is that you have to have a Unix source license to purchase it.
I was interested in getting it up and running on a homebrew NSC 32032
based system, and went through all kind of gyrations to wrangle a copy
from them without the source license.  All attempts were equally
unsuccessful.

I can probably dig up the specific name and address of the individual
I ended up dealing with at the publisher if you're interested. Spending
upwards of $50,000 for personal computer operating system software
cooled me off to the whole idea.
