OK, inquiring minds want to know. I just got a large pile of microfiche
today, and in it is a stack an inch thick or better with a header of
DEC/X11, and dates between about 1973 and 1981. I've a strange feeling
it's got something to do with XXDP. It looks to all be source code, I
would guess in assembly language (I've not taken a decent look at it yet).
What on earth is this stuff?

IIRC, a complete PDP-11 set took up most of a
microfiche file box.
Wasn't this stuff also on-line at Digital once upon a time? Names like
STARS and TIMA come to mind too (my spelling might be wildly wrong, of
course). What happened to all that information?
You're right... it did take up a full box...
As for Stars and TIMA, they're both around, and they still have some
pdp-11 related information, but they seem to have been purged of
much of it (One Architecture, One System, you know...)
