So far as I know, if you aren't part of AT&T and don't have 9th Edition UNIX,
the only way to legally obtain "sam" is to acquire it from the AT&T UNIX
System ToolChest, where it is included in the "dmd-pgmg" package.  This is
definitely not public domain, but it's inexpensively priced and it does
include source code.

"sam" works either with dumb terminals or with a smart one like an AT&T
Teletype 5620 or 630.  I haven't tried installing it without DMD support
but obviously it can be done.

I use "sam" (DMD version) whenever I have serious editing to do.
