Non-Vax System V distribution?

Do you have a System V distribution for a non-Vax system?  If so, we'd
like to arrange to get a copy of a part of it.

The problem is that, unlike the previous distributions, the System V
distribution has only a single machine type included.  This is not
useful if what you are interested in doing is determining the machine
dependancies.  (For some reason, Bell has chosen to emphasize the
differences instead of the similarities in the code; even if there are
only a few lines different, the whole thing is broken out into
different machine-specific versions, each in their own subdirectory.)
We have a copy of a System V distribution for a Vax; if you have a
non-Vax System V distribution (PDP11, IBM370, 3S20, etc.), we would
like to get a copy of the machine-specific subdirectories.  If you
would like a copy of our machine-specific subdirectories, we'd be
willing to swap.  Please send mail to ...!ucbvax!sdcsvax!greg.  Tks.
