Nice. I looked at fixing RT11 RTS applications like MACRO, but that's not
possible because the RT11 date format stops in the early 21st century (5
bit
year field). Perhaps RT-11 has created a solution, but if so I don't know
it.

It was my understanding that Jerome Fine did y2k fixes (commercially) for
rt11 years ago. Is he still around the list?

Thanks for your replies Paul and Jay.
I spent the last hour cobbling together a GitHub Repository for RSTS-E
updates.
It's at https://github.com/agn453/RSTS-E
I've included a context diff for the FIT patches I mentioned and an updated
FIT.TSK image built for RSTS/E V10.1 with BASIC-Plus V2.7 (and also the
Mentec RT-11 V5.7 release notes that discuss the time word changes), along
with an Ethernet patch that Paul posted about in 2016 to increase DECnet
performance under SIMH PDP11.
I also found the cover letter for the Mentec RSTS/E V10.1A Year 2000 Update
and included this. Someone out there may be able to provide further
details.
At some later stage I'll start collecting other RSTS/E software that I wrote
and upload it too. It's silly to keep this hidden away only to be be lost
forever when I'm gone!
