What I still find so challenging is that even after 40 years, RT-11
still has a few bugs which crash the operating system and many
bugs that need fixing. The basic structure of RT-11 is extremely
solid and lends itself to many more enhancements that I ever would
have believed. I have managed to enhance more than half of the
SAV files and many of the device drivers along with the actual
monitors, as well as writing new monitors such as SN(X).SYS,
Symbolic Name List Pseudo Device Driver which does all of
what PATH does for DOS. Recently, I have also enhanced the
KED variants to support more than 24 lines and more than 132
columns.
I've bee running RT since 1980 and its without question solid.
Yes but the file systems is still primitive. Not unlike NS* dos
assuming they didnt
copy RT11 on the that level. The lack of a scatter gather filesystem is
somewhat
limiting especially on small file devices.
