OK, I did that, and it's there.  Now how do I get it?  Alas, my utilities
package is backordered.  (At least my machine wasn't...)  It's getting
a little tiresome using ed, although I guess I don't really need an
editor since I don't have C yet.

And speaking of editors, how do I get the unix-pc version of GNU emacs?
I hear rumors that someone out in net.land has a version with mouse
support and will distribute it on floppies.

While I've got your attention, does anybody know the truth about the
sys V release on the 3b1.  Is it sys V r 2 dot something, or is it
a real release 3, or some kind of in-between mutant?

Thanks!  (Oh, and thanks to ATT for the fire sale!)
