Does anyone remember how it was distributed?

I know we (ripco.com) purchased it back in the day but don't remember if it
was source code or a bunch of shell scripts. I know we were running a sys5r4
like the Dell one back then and I think the only others around in the day
was bsd and sco, to a lesser degree, the apple a/ux. None of those were for
the "shell" box, so it was likely sys5r4 compatable.

Not even sure if it was received on 5.25 or 3.5 floppies.

I'll dig around if I can figure out what to look for.
