I'm
assuming that the source isn't available at all (I wonder if Sun
still have it?)
It is not *legally* available, but it is *actually* available.

As the guy who started this thread, I'm very
grateful for the help.
All I wanted was the lint libraries I wrote, those were like include files
and it is hard to imagine Sun cares about those (I had to threaten to
quit to get them included in the release, back in the day of 200MB disks).
What do you plan to do with them?

I wrote those so that you could develop on SunOS but retarget your code
for any other palatform and have it work. Apparently I cared about that
more than most. I felt strongly at the time that you'd be an idiot to
develop on any other platform, SunOS was way past being the best, it was
without peer. So I felt safe in giving people a way to retarget their
code.
Little did I know that Solaris was waiting in the wings.
