Although I was primarily working on the account
project, the bank?s
minicomputer was a VAX 11/780 (or two). We backed up our
source code to
the VAX system, so I had some limited contact with the VAX. I was
intrigued, because I wanted to know how this VMS was similar, and
different from RSTS/E.
Please let me know if you find out ;) I've been trying to find RSTS/E
to go on my PDP-11, actually.
I wondered about the VAX, and how I might go about
writing a
talk system
Of course, there are others these days, including a built in "PHONE"
command.

I have a 9-track mag tape' backup' of RSTS 8 for an RD53 on an 11/24+.
I'm 95% sure its a 1600 bpi tape, probably made on a Cipher F880 or
simlar drive.

You can download the RSTS/E V7 distribution from
http://simh.trailing-edge.com/kits/rstsv7gen.tar.Z although you might
have to have to jump through hoops to get it into a media you can
install on your PDP-11.

Well, phone is OK for a couple of people chatting, but it's not suited
for a whole pile of users who may want to talk together or seperately,
sending private messages, etc. My "Talk" program uses a Conference
metaphor to allow users to join conferences, and send messages to all
users in that conference, or send "private" messages to a specific user.
It also has a "moderated" conference feature which allows one person to
control who can and can't speak in the conference -- good for panel
discussions, etc.

You can also download the entire RSTS distribution from
http://www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11/RSTS-11/
You will probably find that transfers from there go much faster than the
trailing-edge site
Not only is the RSTS distribution there, but the decus library for RSTS too.
