Thanks for the nod, Allison, but my file transfer program is RT<->RT only
at this time... I've never found someone knowledgable *and* interested
enough to write the RSX peer for the program. Actually - some of the RSX
stuff is already in my source, but I'm not an RSX-heavy, so I've never
built or tested it. Then again, with TCP/IP being available, my program
seems like a moot exercise (though it was and is a lot of fun to work on).
I have been thinking about a Digital Unix and/or Linux peer for it.

OK, now I have the feeling I may have forgotten something. When you wire
some bulbs in series, and one burns out, they all fail. If they are wired
in ||, and one burns out, the others keep burning. What more is there?

In case no one else has located this source of info for the Debian
version of Linux, you can go to http://www.debian.org/ for all sorts of
info. Wanna guess where I found it? On a links page at
http://www.dorkbot.com/ (yes this is a real site).

Absolutely - it's distribued with DECUS C. See, for example,
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-11/rsx/decu…
for the C version, or
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-11/rsx/decu…
for a PDP-11 BASIC version.
If you'd prefer physical BRU tapes of various DECUS SIG items, I can
arrange to run off copies from the masters here. There's also a CD-ROM
in the works.

Looking through the Metalab (used to be Sunsite) PDP-11 archives, I
realized that probably the easiest way to get some of the RSX-11 DECUS
stuff over to my system would be to have FTP tar it up for me and I could
then send the resulting tar to the PDP-11. This of course assumes that
there is a way to un-tar it once I get it to the PDP-11.
So, does anyone know of a good TAR program for RSX-11M that can be used to
un-tar a tar file? Or am I off in left field somewhere again :^)

Check out Megan's (I think it's www.world.std.com/~mbg) page I think she
has something you can use for that.
<>Second question. As I understand it, using DECnet it is possible to use

Yes but that is mostly vax/vms to vax/vms. I use it all the time as I have
a TLZ04, Tk50, TLZ30 on three different machine and I mount and use tapes
across the net and even do backups that way. You do that with 7machines
and 3 drives.

Put a tape on the vax. ;) I think RSX decnet may not do that.
<My favorite solution would be sneakernet - pull the drive and controller
<and move it !
Me too. I'd put the tape on the VAX. The 11/73 can backup to RL02s or
even RX50. It can also copy files to the vax if you have the net.

This sounds interesting. Is PE "Popular Electronics" or another mag.? I
assume it was in the 1970's, could you say what issues? Thanks,
