I assume forth should make multi-user system more robust (because access to real hardware
somewhat restricted). Do you have this project on github?
Also, wikipedia says about rsts-11 (rsts up to v4b), is this also capable of running on
pdp11/03 with multi-terminal and time-sharing between users/applications?
