I'd rather not - on the rare occasions when I boot up my pmax, I do actually have a couple of Ultrix binaries I run. If I couldn't, about 5 years of my academic work would be lost to me (because Digital's packaged applications couldn't export to any portable format except print-analogues like Postscript).
What needs to be done to Ultrix compatibility to keep it alive? I will admit to not looking at it in at least a decade, but it was pretty darned small, wasn't it?
