What about TSX+? Good News!

I just received permission this morning from S&H to release TSX Plus 6.5, RTSORT and COBOL and their associated documentation to the PDP-11 collector community for non-commercial use. I'm in the process of working with other folks to determine the best way to support the distribution under a non-commercial "license". Be a bit patient while we work out the details. For those who aren't familiar with S&H's very cool PDP-11 products, here's a brief overview: TSX Plus - enables multiuser, multiterminal RT (you must already have a copy of RT to implement this product) RTSORT - the fastest sort program available for the PDP-11. Sorting used to be a major function in commercial data processing (and still is in mainframe "Batch" processing). RTSORT ran circles around Digital's own sort package. COBOL - the big deal is that while DEC's COBOL required careful planning of overlays - S&H's COBOL did automatic virtual handling of memory - so one could take off-the-shelf IBM COBOL programs and run them on a DEC systems without the need to modify them for "overlays". Be assured that we will expedite this release as soon as reasonably possible. Please do not ask me privately for a copy of these products in the meantime.
