That would be great. Are you referring to both the
binaries and the
update package or just the binaries?
I don't have any update packages... so it would only be the
V5.3 binary distribution.
I also think I read that someone else may have a set of
RX50 diskettes
as well. Would that qualify? And how should V5.3 of RT-11 be made
available - assuming that the license form which I have seen is the real
thing? And are there any restrictions implicit in the utilities which
would be used to transfer V5.3 into the environment of the OS in which
the emulator would be run?
If the question of the license is resolved in the positive, then I could
make available image copies of any of the distribution media with the
exception of magtapes.
Plus, I understand that the Bob Supnick emulator -
which is what Mentec
does not bother to name by name is what the Mentec license refers to.
Does anyone know if there is a version which runs under MS-DOS or
Windows 95/98? I realize that the Bob Supnick emulator is written in
"C" and normally runs under UNIX. Does that mean that it can't run
under MS-DOS, or is it just that no one has ever tried?
I've heard of people taking the makefile I wrote for it and making
modifications so that it would build using some flavor of C on MS/DOS.
(And this has been borne out by the post from someone who said they
built it and use it).
