I wonder how much pdp activity there is now. I spent several years in 
the mid to late 80's/early 90's programming pdp. Embedded rt11 mainly, 
but some rsx as well. I suppose it's all dead now, but was a lot of fun 
at the time.

Are they still using dsm ?. No experience of it here, but understand 
that was quite common in the nhs and in other countrie's medical sector...
