Did anyone on the list get these tapes?

"P11" was the extension used for PDP-11 assembly files very early on.  I assume that was because they were cross-assembled on a PDP-10.  Presumably PALX11.MAC which is on one of the other tapes!

One of the tapes seems to be a SNOBOL implementation, with LOW and HGH and SHR extensions which sounds vaguely familiar from long ago when I briefly used TOPS-10.

Another has SIMX11.SAV, wonder if that might be MIMIC.  That would be quite a find.  And on the same tape IOX.P11, that sounds like the early "papertape I/O executive".

One tape is labeled "New PS/8". 

BASIC.P11 could be the RSTS BASIC code, that too would be a very interesting discovery with that date.  SYSLOD is the DOS installer.  RDT I don't recognize.

I'm seriously looking forward to seeing image files of those tapes.
