Sorry, but your dealer is wrong. SimulTask is sold as a unit. It includes
the necessary software for merging MS-DOS 3.x with System V release 2 AND
UNIX System V release 2 itself. The UNIX development software (i.e. nroff,
C compiler and such) is unbundled from the package, since most people with
only a 20 MB drive won't have much room for all of that. To install SimulTask
you must first have a copy of MS-DOS version 3.x for your machine.

I can't say how near in the future, but it is planned.
