Thanks. Is there an old development system out there?

I thank those who responded to my query about vi and incessant
beeping on my terminal.  The answer was that, since vi has to
bypass the termcap library (which intercepts escapes), and has
to guess whether a given escape is part of a cursor control se-
quence or a just a plain ESC, it can get confused at times and
under certain circumstances.  In my case, this tended to happen
after repeated or rapid key presses.

My query now regards the Xenix development system.  What is
going to happen to all of the development systems everyone
has installed as they move from Xenix to various flavors of Unix?
If anyone has an older version they are not going to use, I would
certainly like to purchase it.
