Perhaps Tim Shoppa or Megan Gentry could comment on
the
legality of using PUTR to split apart SIG tapes into their smaller
DSK files.
The RT-11 (and RSX-11 and RSTS/E and ...) SIG tapes, like all DECUS
contributed material, had their authors sign pieces of paper stating
that the material can be redistributed and repackaged as necessary.
So there's no problem with manipulating any of these as you need or
desire.
John Wilson, at the top of PUTR.DOC, says:
PUTR is a copyrighted but freely distributable utility for
transferring files between various file systems and various
media.
He doesn't put any limitations on its use.
So I see no difficulties with using PUTR to do anything you want with
the PDP-11 freeware archives.
