Kirk McKusick sells a CD-ROM collection containing all the CSRG
distributions:

	https://www.mckusick.com/csrg/

Pretty much everything that had to be GNUified in BSD/386 and friends
(thanks to the Death Star's lawyers) can be found in all its glory on
the CDs. And thanks to Caldera, it can now be freely distributed.

A lot of the CSRG code is missing functionality that we've picked up
along the way, and much of it is pre-ANSI C, so there's work to be done
to bring it up to date. Regardless, the CSRG code is a good starting
point for a lot of things. (For example, I'm currently about half way
through getting troff updated.)
