"There is an emulation of UNIX System V that runs on 4.2BSD."

That emulation was done (by me) at BRL and made freely available
to sites having the appropriate licenses.  There has been some talk
about distributing the emulation along with 4.nBSD (for some n > 2)
as "user-contributed software".  At least one major computer vendor
has similar plans.

/* ---------- */

This emulation package is included in the user-contributed software tape
distributed with the newest release of UTX/32 (1.1) for Gould's Concept 32
and PowerNode machines. The way UTX is set up, users already have access to
many unique-to-System-V commands and library routines in the 4.2 environment
(and some, like the uucp and nroff, are taken from System V rather than
BSD), but the package makes it easier to mask out Berkeleyisms and guarantee
portability.
