I have had several folks express the desire for them. Over the day or

get to it today, so it could be as late as next week), I will load them
up on my Google drive in a directory structure analogous to what
bitsavers uses, and send out the link.

Jay,
Wow! It would be great to get copies of those DEC and DECUS floppies! Almost all DECUS
software include the sources and a good example of source code is worth many pages of
references manuals. Please contact me directly and we can discuss how to transfer them.
Several of those titles sound very interesting!
The MINC systems are great hardware platforms, but I was very afraid that much of the
software had been lost. This is very encouraging!
Thanks!
Mark
The software I am looking for are the MINC software packages FEP (Fortran Enhancement
Package) V2.1 and FRP (Fortran Real_time Package) V1.0. Also SSP V1.3 (Scientific
Subroutines Package) and LSP V1.2 (Laboratory Subroutines Package) would be great to find
as well. These all run under RT-11 and I understand that there was also a version (V1.1)
of FEP and V1.0 of FRP that ran under RSX11M which would be fantastic to find as I am more
interested in RSX11M. This is based on documents in the MINC folder in the bitsavers
online archives.

I have some MINC hardware (also a MINC/23 I think) and software, but it
does not look like I have what you are looking for.
What I do have images of (except for the one marked "(Bad)" that seem
likely MINC related:
