Yep. They did a whole manual and everything. I think I installed it on
my 350 back in the early 90's for some school work.
Fun stuff

SPSS, as in the statistics package? Interesting. I
didn't know there was a PDP-11 port of that (I only ever used it, on rare occasions,
on OS/360). In fact, COSAP was developed for RSTS mainly to deliver an interactive stats
package with capabilities vaguely like SPSS but a much friendlier user interface.

Hi!
Given that other people seem interested in the Pro/350 series systems I thought I would
dig out and scan some of the remaining manuals I have. These seem to have come from an
agreement with SPSS back in 1982 or so and all appear to be draft documents.
I'll upload them as I scan them (takes time) to https://www.crystel.com/pdp
I'll upload a PDF file along with a zip file of the scans at 300dpi.
Question: Would the SPSS manuals be interesting?
Also I have an RSX11M 3.2 manual set in a big binder, worth scanning or is that up there
already? I'm assuming the Fortran manuals have already been scanned in the past.
Final thought: Looks like I have the spss/x floppies for the Pro version 1.0, are those
out there somewhere already?
Thanks!
