Subject: Download CD images for RSX-11 and RT-11 Freeware CDs from Tim Shoppa
Jerome Fine replies:
It took a week of trying, but I have finally downloaded all three CD
images for RSX-11 and RT-11 from:
ftp://ftp.trailing-edge.com/pub/cd-images/
Note also that the file MD5SUMS seems to contain checksum
values, but I don't know how to use these values or produce them
myself to check if my files are correct. Can anyone help?
There is a program "md5sum" that comes with GNU textutils. It
will run on most Unix or Unix-like systems. I suspect that with
a fair amount of effort it could be made to run on RT11, compiled
with DECUS C, but I haven't really looked at that..
When you run mda5sum on a file it produces a 32-hex-digit "message digest".
This should match the one that you downloaded from the original source.
