       Try looking in mod.sources, net.sources, and on simtel20 pd:<unix>
      or maybe it was pd:<cpm.unix>. I've got (un)crunching programs, library
      , .lbr files, programs and of course arc. All of the programs run under
      4.2 BSD, Encore Multimax UMAX 4.2 to be exact. They're all out there, you
      just have to look in all the nooks and crannys.
