I have just heard back from John, who offered a link to his summary paper from the 2020 HOPL conference proceedings S, R, and data science https://doi.org/10.1145/3386334 and reported that S was licensed to AT&T Unix customers only in binary form, and that the original source code may no longer exist. That is a definitive answer, even if not the one that I was hoping to find. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H. F.
