We have been using program "style" in Ultrix on Vax machines here.
"style" is a kind of text parser. Now we need to run it on a
workstation, say, Sun 386i, Sun Sparcstations. How and where we can buy
or get the source code for this program so that we can modify it and run
it on Suns.
Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advances.

I believe "style" is part of the Writer's WorkBench, licensed by AT&T (800)838-UNIX. Old versions of "style" and "diction" were distributed by Bell Labs by special arrangement, but I doubt they still do that.

If the original poster has a UNIX source license, they can get BSD source; otherwise, they're out of luck, unless somebody has "AT&T-free" versions of "style" and "diction".
