Subject: Download CD images for RSX-11 and RT-11 Freeware CDs from Tim Shoppa
Jerome Fine replies:
It took a week of trying, but I have finally downloaded all three CD
images for RSX-11 and RT-11 from:
ftp://ftp.trailing-edge.com/pub/cd-images/
Note also that the file MD5SUMS seems to contain checksum
values, but I don't know how to use these values or produce them
myself to check if my files are correct. Can anyone help?
There is a program "md5sum" that comes with GNU textutils. It
will run on most Unix or Unix-like systems. I suspect that with
a fair amount of effort it could be made to run on RT11, compiled
with DECUS C, but I haven't really looked at that..
When you run mda5sum on a file it produces a 32-hex-digit "message digest".
This should match the one that you downloaded from the original source.

Been there now. Done that! Does anyone on a low speed
connection want a copy? I think my blanks are about $ 0.75
each and the labels plus envelope about the same! Postage
and shipping carton are extra which I can find out.
Sincerely yours,

In case it wasn't already obvious....
I spent a day or two putting up the complete freeware libraries for RT-11,
RSX, and RSTS, including DECUS. This should be all the stuff that is on the
CD's that Tim Shoppa has, as well as a bit of other stuff. The initial
transfer was pretty quick, just an hour or so. These archives are HUGE.
However, the ibiblio.org site has some problems with the content that make
transfers kind of a pain, so I had to go back and recheck each file one at a
time (in an automated fashion of course) to make sure they all transferred
ok, and that what didn't transfer wasn't supposed to - that is what took a
long time.
You can find them at these URL's:
www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11/RSTS
www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11/RSX-11
www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11/RT-11
www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11/UNIX-11
However, I would suggest that you bookmark just www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11
though instead, it puts you at a better documentroot to see what all files
are available. This archive location is growing rapidly with other things
too from the free ibiblio.org site and elsewhere. I may put up the pdp-8 and
pdp-10 stuff as well. Might throw up some HP 1000/2000/3000 stuff too as
time permits. When I get around to it, they will be at /PDP-8, /PDP-10, and
/HP

Terrific! I've just got simh 2.9.0 to compile and (10 minutes ago...)
seen RT-11 boot for the first time, so I could use some more stuff...
thanks...

are complete.
