At a guess in the mid-1990s when some people were interested in running
SCO Xenix/SCO Unix/UnixWare binaries (Informix/Uniplex/WordPerfect in my
case) under Linux. I'm not sure how being able to read a UnixWare /stand
would be any help here though.

The Linux kernel as available at http://kernel.org/. Probably available
from 2.2 but it's still there in 2.6 (well being picky, I didn't check
with kernel.org; I just did a 'apt-get install linux-source' under
Ubuntu).

The obvious place to start looking is the source code.

It's an implementation of UnixWare's boot filesystem in the Linux
kernel. How and why it's there I don't know. I only mentioned it as an
indication as to the simplicity of the implementation.
