To Al Kossow at bitsavers

[Jerome H. Fine]

I sent the following post to Al on November 10th at 9:22 P.M. EST.

Al did not reply or I did not see his reply, so I presume that he
is just ignoring my request although Al did ask Jay Jaeger to respond.

Al, if you have changed your mind, please reply with the name of the
incoming directory as a link.

If anyone else agrees that it would be helpful for bitsavers to host
these RT-11 file images, please help the cause by agreeing or at least
supporting this request.

AND if Al continues to ignore this request, does anyone else wish to
host these RT-11 file images?  I suggest that bitsavers is well known
and is already mirrored, so it is probably a better choice.

I also notice that the /bits/ files do not seem to have had the
same attention as the /pdf/ side of the fence.  In particular,
as an RT-11 addict, there are many additional image files
available on the internet which are not reflected at bitsavers
and its mirrors.  While I agree that you may be concerned
that some at those image files are for versions of RT-11
after V05.03, at least a few are not and at least those had
been explicitly allowed even by Mentec.  Would you find
it appropriate to host these files at bitsavers and its mirrors?

In addition, a few internet sites have also had a number of files
for versions of RT-11 after V05.03 for over 5 years now.
Since bitsavers and its mirrors are probably better known
than most other sites, would you also find it appropriate
to host these as well?

Do you also have an incoming directory which will accept image
files?  You can then move them to the correct sub-directory and
maybe even rename them?

Some of the RT-11 image files have DEC ( owner / volumeID )
values which are the equivalent of the names given to PDF files
for DEC manuals.

Please advise whether or not you wish to have copies of these
RT-11 DEC image files.
