Definitely glad to see efforts to reverse-engineer this software.

For the curious there is a good walk-through of Venix/86 2.1 being

Has anyone established whether all the various Venix releases have
been found and which of the add-on tools have been found? like the
Fortran and RM/COBOL referenced on wikipedia?
