Dynix/ptx equivalents of lsdev, mkdev etc.

I am familiar with the AIX commands lsdev, mkdev, rmdev and so on. Have been asked to look at a very old Sequent Quad box running Dynix/ptx - believed to be version 2.4.1 ! These commands don't appear to be present. Can anyone please identify the equivalent Dynix commands? I've been handed the reference manuals (dated 1993) and I don't think there has been much upgrade work done since.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

ptx(1)							      General Commands Manual							    ptx(1)

Name
       ptx - create permuted index

Syntax
       ptx [option...] [input[output]]

Description
       The  command  generates	a permuted index to file input on file output (standard input and output default).  It has three phases: the first
       does the permutation, generating one line for each keyword in an input line.  The keyword is rotated to the front.  The	permuted  file	is
       then  sorted.   Finally,  the  sorted lines are rotated so the keyword comes at the middle of the page.	The command produces output in the
       form:

	      .xx "tail" "before keyword" "keyword and after" "head"

       where .xx may be an or macro for user-defined formatting.  The before keyword and keyword and after fields incorporate as much of the  line
       as  fits  around  the keyword when it is printed at the middle of the page.  The and commands, at least one of which is an empty string "",
       are wrapped-around pieces small enough to fit in the unused space at the opposite end of the line.  When original text must  be	discarded,
       `/' marks the spot.

Options
       The following options can be applied:

       -b break 	   Use	the  characters in the break file as separators.  In any case, tab, new line, and space characters are always used
			   as break characters.

       -f		   Folds upper and lower case letters for sorting.

       -g n		   Uses specified number as interfield gap.  The default gap is 3 characters.

       -i ignore	   Do not use as keywords any words given in the ignore file.  If the -i and -o options are missing, use /usr/lib/eign	as
			   the ignore file.

       -o only		   Use words listed only in the only file.

       -r		   Uses leading nonblanks as reference identifiers.  Attach that identifier as a 5th field on each output line.

       -t		   Prepares the output for the phototypesetter.  The default line length is 100 characters.

       -w n		   Use the next argument, n, as the width of the output line.  The default line length is 72 characters.

Restrictions
       Line length counts do not account for overstriking or proportional spacing.

Files
       /usr/bin/sort
       /usr/lib/eign
