After stating that I expected TSX Plus to be available generally to the
collector community this week, I have had a number of folks request
access to TSX plus via private FTP.
Please be a bit patient and wait for me to post it to a new website I'm
in the process of creating. I now have full agreement from S&H to
generally release TSX Plus, COBOL, etc., to the collector community via
a simple download.
BTW: I have converted all of the original documentation, which was in HP
print file format to PDFs for easier and more general use.
Over time I will likely be able to release some of the utilities, etc.
that S&H used internally with TSX plus. Some time ago S&H gave me all
of their RL02 packs and a SMD drive with everything they had related to
the PDP-11 version of TSX. (They have a current version of TSX for X86
systems which is NOT free and is NOT part of this release).
Over time, there may be a project to scan the source listings and
recreate TSX Plus source code. (The source listings are available on
bitsavers.org (pdf/dec/pdp11/tsxPlus/listings/). Unfortunately, we are
missing the MACRO definitions in the source listings. Some of us are
working on that issue. (Note: All of the original PDP-11 source code was
accidentally lost by S&H).
I will also make available any software that other folks submit to me
related to TSX on my website.
Regards.

Great news, very much looking forward to the site. TSX Plus is a fun
operating system to work with. Hope all goes well and let me know if
there's any way I can help.

After a bit of a hiatus with the PDP-11, I'm getting back into it.
Wondering if there's any update on this? Would be great to see the TSX Plus
bits and documentation you've collected, especially considering your work
with S&H to pave the way.

If something didn't happen on this shortly, I was going to contact S&H and
spearhead it. Glad to see some progress is being made!
So yes, I'm interested as well!
Best,
J

Hi Lyle,
No sweat, don't want to be pushy, but I'm excited about getting this onto
my 11/34, too! If there's anything I can do to help move the site progress
along or anything else, please let me know.
thx

Laughing. Something tells me most of us here know that problem all too well, in fact
I'd forgotten just how close you were, specifically for this reason! :-)

Bump?
I'm still quite interested in this (and if we can collect some other TSX
Plus software as mentioned by other list members).

TSX-Plus adepts,
Was wondering, since I've been in the market for a good pdp11 word
processing software and TSX apparently comes with LEX-11, I hope that'll
fill the need for me. Is it able to handle a few users at a time all
running LEX-11? Also, is there network connectivity or some automated
mechanism for transferring, preferably to some kind of unix?
I remember reading a mention of Pascal on TSX. Would it be feasible to
teach a little vintage Pascal seminar on this sort of platform? i.e. will
it support multiuser simultaneous editing and compiling of individual
source trees? I have a number of nerd friends who would really enjoy
coming over and messing with something like this.
Exciting!
