Just out of curiosity I installed RSTS/E 9.6 on a SIMH PDP-11 and
thought I'll try to install DECNET 4.1, but I've come up empty trying
to find any info on how that is done. I know almost nothing about
RSTS/E yet but I'm trying to slowly learn.
I figured out that I could RESTORE INSTAL.BCK from the DECNET 4.1 tape
image and that resulted in just a few files, one of which was
DECNET.COM. That appeared to be an installation script, but it is not
clear if that is something that is intended to be manually invoked, or
if something else invokes it. I tried invoking it manually with some
guesses for the parameters, but that didn't get me anywhere.
Is there an installation guide on the net somewhere that I haven't
been able to find?
Does anyone have a sample SIMH session transcript showing the proper
way to install DECNET 4.1 on RSTS/E 9.6?
