PDP-11 comm stuff (and more) from a haul available

Jerome Fine replies: Your second attempt could actually be read! I have been intending to ask Al Kossow if he has been able to scan copies of the various RT-11 DOC sets. However, it seems a bit unreasonable to attempt to scan anything except the latest versions - which are still copyright - except that it may no longer be possible to purchase them from Mentec (has anyone recently tried?) In that situation, DEC always allowed out of print manuals to be copied - especially if the user already owned a valid RT-11 license. If the intended use was non-commercial, DEC also seemed agreeable, however, now that Mentec/HP are involved, the situation may be very different. Note that a complete RT-11 DOC set was about 10,000 pages starting with V05.00 of RT-11. For V05.06 of RT-11, there were 13 binders. V05.07 was almost identical with the ONLY difference being the name "COMPAQ" on the heavy paper front page with the window AND the V05.07 Release Notes - otherwise, all of the rest of the DOC set was identical to V05.06 DOC set of RT-11. As for the SRC fiche, it would be interesting to see if they are the same as the SRC distribution set of files for V05.04 of RT-11. Although the actual files are much more useful, the fiche do serve as a hard copy backup. Is there any way that a small file could be used as a comparison?
