The big claim to fame for RSTS/e  was I thought that it let you load
'foreign' executives so you could run RT-11 or RSX-11 or whatever binaries
all on one system. I'd imagine DSM-11 images would be easy if it were a
real OS. I'd always thought of RSTS/e as a poor-man's hypervisor. But maybe
I'm misremembering how much it could do...
