My recollection was that i have a program from DECUS that runs on RT11 on
PDP11s which converts Exorcisor formats to DEC RT11 formats from which
they are readily converted to CP/M formats using another DECUS program.
I cant locate my DECUS catalogues to give you the program number at the
momentt but there were the three programs Intel/ISIS to RT11, Exorciser
to RT11 and C/PM to RT11...
You need to look on one of the DECUS archive machines, and find some
one with a DEC RT11 system with RX02 8inch floppys. They should be able
to recover the data for you in a format of your choice.
If you dont have luck, and it has to be done, come back to me.

I strongly suspect that you'll need an EXORciser system. Mike Haas has a
couple but I don't know if they're working or even complete. What's on the
disks? The EXORciser was a developement system for EXORbus computers.

on these disks can be recovered on a CPM system or similar, or will
he need to find an EXORciser?
