	re: system V.

	The "System V Environment for DEC/OSF1" is located on
	the Complementary CD, which releases with every 
	DEC/OSF1 kit since V2.0. It provides a comprehensive
	System V release 4.0 environment (a hybrid of actual
	SVR4.0 code from Univel, and Digital developed code).
	Its installable, but would require an additional license
	PAK to run. I suggest you pull the SPD for it for
	a detailed description. Theres even a migration guide
	availible for Vax System V -> OSF and SVE.
	Any VAX system V application should port over relatively
	easily to OSF V2.0 or later, since SVID2/3 compliance
	as well as several SVR4 devices and subsystems were
	introduced to OSF V2.0. The SVE kit adds user-level
	tools from SVR4 to the base SVR4 "enablers" and API.
