Gees, I feel kind of left out. I've been maintaining the RT-11 sig tapes
for most of a decade now, and when somebody finds a pile nobody thinks
about asking me.

Tim, I deeply apologize. Not being heavily into RT11, I didn't know you
were maintaining the tape archive.
I've not sent them off yet, and I think I will not until I know for sure
what's not in the archive. I've already discovered one (1986 Fall, San
Francisco) that's not, so I will copy it and send it your way. What's your
postal address?
The others all seem to be listed, but none of the block counts shown on
the list match with those on the tapes. In just about every case, the tape
shows either 4-10 blocks less, or at least twice what's shown in the list.
Can someone enlighten me as to why this may be so?
Anyway... John, if you're reading this, be patient! I'll get them to you
via separate box if need be. It looks like I may need to run some copies
for the archives.

The tapes are spoken for. John Lawson claimed the
stack, with Dave
Jenner a close second. Glad to see they're going to a good home. Thanks,
folks!
Any chance someone could determine if there are any sig tapes among the
stack which aren't currently available from any of the pdp-11 archives
and make sure the archives get a copy? (Tim Shoppa?)
