MIT PCIP was put together by Saltzer, Romkey, Bridgham and others,
using a homebrew cross-compiler running on Vaxes.  It hasn't changed
since late 1985.  In late 1985, the CMU people (Perkins and others)
ported it to Microsoft C 3.0 (this port is also on the MIT tape, as
the 2nd tar file), and then did various enhancements over the next
year or two.  Their latest (and probably final) version includes
Packet Driver support, and is up for anonymous FTP on one of the CMU
machines.  Then, Dan Lanciani took the CMU version and started
hacking, and is presently continuing to hack, and his latest version
is on husc6.harvard.edu.

Thus, the Harvard one is probably the one to use, but the MIT version
is the only one you can get on tape (at least, as far as the Vendors'
Guide says).
