Builds fine -- and even works with D-CWindows

Dunno .. but don't expect any problems

>UREP, 
Yup, we run it.  And the DP-11 driver "just installed" so I expect
the DUP-11 driver will work too.  The only caveat is to remove the
"register ..., ..." definitions from the beginning of the probe routine.
(is it "br, cvec"?) as Ultrix doesn't use them as register variables
anymore.

>Uucp, 
We use the 4.3BSD uucp from Rick Adams (we don't have his latest tho').

We use this one because we have some over-the-Internet UUCP links
using the t protocol and with uucpd.  I believe the Ultrix UUCP
has none of that in it.

>BIND (name daemon),
The BIND there is 4.7.3 with some "improvements".  I had some troubles
with that version tho so we put up 4.8 but left the resolver stuff alone.
(The /etc/svcorder file is a very nice touch)

>macsyma, 
Dunno .. I know we use this around here but don't know which machine
we run it on anymore.

Use MMDF .. it's good for the soul ;-)



The only other thing is that D-CWindows is slooooooooooooooow..
