Finally.... Jacksonville pays off.... Do you know who many times I've seen
computer x available in y, for pickup only, where y does not equal
Jacksonville. I've got two SMS 1000s comming this weekend, a model 50 and
40, and two expansion boxes (41's ???) full of serial io running RT-11 for a
defunct cardkey system.
I dont know RT-11 (yet.) and am looking forward to the experience. But
before that happens the seller wants to purge some sensitive employee files
on the system. Can someone tell me how to tell him to 1) move through the
directory structure, and 2) how to delete specific files ( some that span
partitions 0 - du4 according to him ), and...
Where can I find a good source of RT-11 info?
Thanks

No idea on this I'm afriad. My RT-11 system is no where near this complex yet.
Where can I find a good source of RT-11 info?
The RT-11 manuals, and good luck finding a set :^(
On the other hand the following URL will have some basic info if you take
the time to do some serious looking. It also has all kinds of other
interesting info, DEC and other.
http://www-ols.fnal.gov/ols/documents/docpn.html Of course this is all
pretty specific to some government lab. Wish they had more of the
documentation they list on line.

They sound interesting, which version of RT-11 were they written for? That
would be about V4 or V5.0 wouldn't it? How useful are they for V5.4 or
higher?

RT11 all versions use a single flat directory per drive.
dir DX0: (version 4.x 5.x) would list the directory for the first
RX01 floppy.
You should be able to do the same with du0: through du4:
Older versions didn't have the DCL built on top of the lower level
commands and pip dx0:*.* /li (I think) would get a directory list.
It's been over 15 years since I did the latter.
My brain may have dropped bits on that one.
