[TUHS] Compatibility question

[KenUnix]

Here is what I ended up doing. Creating a putty session with locked size.
Aso
using the vi as designed it works well. I have included the putty.defs,
putty.notes
and vi.notes.

Now everything is fine. Thanks for your help.

Getting System-V-r2-VAX780:

cd to it , type in ./unix

For other 64 bit Unix's use this image

Getting System-V-r3-3b2-700 64bit:

The above packages do not require any special software. It is all self
contained.
