HELP - Cheap form of UN*X wanted for PDP

[cdl at mplvax.UUCP]

No -- there isn't any such thing as a cheap form of Unix.  What you
are probably remembering is the DECUS C system, which is a set of
public domain software including a compiler, several libraries,
and lots of familiar utilities.  This software runs on many DEC
operating systems, including RT-11, RSX, RT emulated on RSTS, RT
emulated on VMS, others I can't think of offhand.  It's available
as DECUS 11-SP-18, second (1983) release, for the cost of reproduction.

Back before DEC started licensing Ultrix and V7M-11, they had a cheap
Unix distribution, but you had to have an expensive Bell license first.
