Here are two messages that I found with sources for VAX/UNIX basic
interpreters.  I imagine that Rob has been too busy this week to
answer this himself, as I think he's one of the Usenix chairpeople...
Rob's is cheaper, but Tina's is more up-to-date and is set for 4.2.  I
can't judge for you which one (UBC or UNM) you'd like better.  The UNM
version doesn't have file I/O (or didn't in the version I got from Rob,
anyway), but does have more math/matrix stuff.  Heck, they're cheap;
buy UNM's latest and get UBCs for free.
