SORRY - YOU  WILL  ALWAYS  HAVE  AT  LEAST  ONE  FAN!!!!!!!!!!

YOUR  COLLECTION  OF  RT-11  (mostly DECUS)  SOFTWARE  IS
MY  IDEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As some of you realize, there is now a collection of
RT-11 Binary distributions available for RT-11 hobby
users under the Mentec license for use with SIMH.  The
file is really to burn a CD, but can be directly used
with SIMH as in:
http://www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11/RT-11/dists/
ATTACH  RQ0:  RT11DV10.ISO
SET  RQ0:  LOCK
BOOT  RQ0:

If anyone needs any help with RT-11 or the RT-11 Freeware
CDs, please ask.

Sincerely yours,

Jerome Fine
