Has anyone managed to get any of the Layered Products installed on
RSTS/E V9.X (X >= 6)? Aside from F77 for which there was a declaration
of success here:
http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/pipermail/simh/2008-March/001719.html
I tried with BASIC Plus 2 V2.6 (with RSTS/E 9.6) and can see that the
tape appears to be a BACKUP INSTAL.BCK set, but RESTORE is refusing to
work with the tape (TPC file).
Does anyone happen to have the BP2 installation guide or tips on how
the layered products are generally installed on RSTS/E?
A related question: Can anyone explain what a field-test versions of
RSTS/E means? is it a release candidate (in modern parlance) or a
beta? I see RSTS/E V10 but it is annotated with field-test so I assume
it was not the final shipping version.
thanks.
