The package Wolf is talking about is called MKS Trilogy.  The list price
is $119 (US dollars), but can be found for $99 from some of our dealers. 

It includes awk, the Korn shell, and crypt.  We chose those three
because they may be hard to get, and we already had most of the code
here from our MS-DOS versions.  This is the new version of awk, as Wolf
noted, so it matches what is described in the book by Aho, et al.  The
crypt includes the standard Unix rotor machine and the DES algorithm.
