Overlays, GKS... (Was: Re: New to list)

Jerome Fine replies: I am not sure what you are referring to. But if you don't remember, not a problem with me. While TSX-PLUS certainly can satisfy that requirement, the license for the product is rather expensive. I don't know if they have a hobby program, but I have not heard of one - although they did have a demo license that allowed 30 minutes of usage at a time. Fortunately, I do have my own license for V6.5 TSX-PLUS so I am able to run it when I used to have a contract that used TSX-PLUS over 5 years ago. If it was helpful, I could make sure that the multi-tasking and multi-user aspects were working correctly. That is a bit funny. On my PDP-11/83, I have SIX terminals sitting on my desk under RT-11 which has multi-terminal support in the monitor. I use RT11XM and run 5 KED sessions when I want to edit source code. 4 KED sessions look at the MACRO-11 listing and the BackGround job makes the actual changes. I also have a lack of time - I am spending too much time on the IP rights issue with Bill Gunshannon. We obviously have a different point of view. THANK YOU. For the next few years, my primary focus will be with bug fixes and enhancements for RT-11 starting with Y2K/Y10K for V5.03 of RT-11. I intend to make sure that all of the code can be adapted to all versions from V5.03 to V5.07 so that in 10 years when Mentec finally gives up and allows hobby users full access, it will need very little change. A few other enhancements will be a PATH HANDLER, 256 RT-11 partitions, enhancements to the SL: in RT-11. I do have a question about the design and implementation. If you have some RT-11 understanding and a knowledge of the information kept in the fixed offsets from the start of RMON, could I ask you a question?
