We have a version of "sps" in-house for the PS/2 and 370 (AIX 1.1 and
1.2).  I have no idea about the legal issues of sending the relevant
source code or binaries.  If you want, I can look into it.  If I can
send it, you can be sure that it would be entirely unsupported.  I have
a much better chance of getting permission to send binaries than sources.
You can also try asking IBM service to get this added to a version of the
product somewhere.

Opinions are my own, not those of IBM or LCC.
