The files on the SYSGEN tape have a timestamp of
26-Sep-79, so "Fall
1979" sounds right.
Ow. I was looking for something a lot earlier than that. I used RSTS-11 in
the '72-'74 timeframe, so it's a version from that era I'd like to have.
Any
idea what version that would be - and if it's still extant?
I've used the V4A kit (DECtapes) to build
that ... (There's a V4A
sysgen manual on Bitsavers too ...)
When was that one?
That would most likely be the one you remember. "RSTS-11" was the name applied
to V4 and earlier. On Bitsavers, you can find a V4A kit and the related manuals; also
what looks like V3 which I have not tried. I should do that at some point.
