If you SSH to 3b2@sdf.org, you can find your way into an emulated
PDP-11 running System V. It has some version of vi installed,
with source code. It's possible to extract this code from the
system by first porting uuencode to it, and then porting a
version of tar that you can also run someplace else. The tar
that's installed on the system is not compatible with modern tars,
nor is it compatible with V7 tar.

Something is wrong here.  A PDP-11 running SysV?  And with the uid "3b2"
also?  And this isn't an AT&T 3B2 running SysV?
