I was recently told that DEC sold an RSX-11M emulator that run as a process
on VMS for people who had old RSX code they wanted to run. Is this true?
And if so is it part of the hobbiest license?

I think what you might be talking about is the version of RSX that ran on
the VAX. I'm afriad I don't know anything about it really though. I can
guarentee that nothing like this is part of the hobbyist license.

Jerome Fine replies:
The most important part of the answer is first finding out if you want
to run RSX or just RSX code. And if real PDP-11 hardware is
important (as many of the fellows on this list insist upon) or just
being able to run PDP-11 code in general.
If you want speed and don't care what the hardware is (namely you
don't mind running on a PC), try the hobby version of the emulator
which runs much faster than real PDP-11 hardware even on low
end PC hardware (like a Pentium 166 system). You can find
everything at:
http://www.dbit.com/
and the directories start in:
http://www.dbit.com/pub/
If you would like more information, please ask.
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
