1022 guy

I've been wondering who might have the sources?
System 1022 was the leading DBMS for 10/20's. It was developed at Software
House. SH was bought by its largest customer (CompuServe) and became
Compuserve Data Technologies. CDT was sold to CCA (Computer Corp of Amer).
It seems to me they may have only been interested in 1032 (for Vax's). I've
tried at CCA, but haven't gotten a response if they have 1022.
Since Compuserve's Consumer Info Service (CIS) was heavily reliant on 1022,
maybe CS kept 1022 when it sold CDT to CCA. I see now on Wikipedia that CIS
continued on CS till last year.
CS was as far as I know the biggest latest user of 10 hardware (System
Concepts clones), Does anyone know how late they ran them (with heavily
modifed TOPS-10)? Does anyone have a contact at CS that might be able to
lead me to where to where 1022 went? I'd like to revive it and make
available for the community. Thanks...
