After consulting with Mentec and Bob Supnik (praised
be he
for negotiating the deal), and after combing my archives for
a copy of the binary distribution of RT V5.3 (which I
provided to Bob Supnik for him to package up with the license),
Jerome Fine replies:
Bravo! Considering how fast other things have happened in the
past, you seem to have accomplished the job in record time.
I am pleased to announce that the license has been
confirmed
by Mentec, and that there is at least a copy of the RT-11 V5.3
distribution kit available on:
ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/digital/sim/software/rtv53swre.tar.Z
I'm sure that there is work being done on obtaining distribution
copies of other license-covered software. Watch this space for
further notices about software.
For the sake of good will between Mentec and hobbyists, please
DO NOT start making copies of RT or any other pdp-11 software
available from other locations without it first coming from
gatekeeper. Also, please read and abide by the terms of the
license.
Are there any things you would recommend that this groups would
want to be aware of? Any Y2K issues that you feel are important?
Sincerely yours,
