In the June/July issue of The C Users Journal, pg 33, PC/VI and its 
developer, Custom Software Systems are reported to be out of business.  
Various PC/VI distributors are supposedly clearing their inventory of CSS
software, possibly at reduced prices, with a warning that no support is
available for the package.  The article states CSS was sued by AT&T over
alleged copyright infringements, and CSS evidently settled out of court by
agreeing to "refrain from offering products that purport to be implementations
of, or functionally equivalent to" Unix.  One of the principals (unnamed) of
CSS confirmed that the company has gone out of business.
