The rt11 should have given it away :-). i still get nostalgic about
those days, sign of advancing years perhaps. One comp[any that I worked
for for over two years resulted in over 300 source library modules, all
in macro 11. Menu systems, drivers for non standard hardware and loads
of other stuff. Recovered some of it recently from an old vms system
drive, but still have loads more on Rx02 floppies and rl02 packs. Have
an rlv12 controller and a drive, but it hasn't run for years and would
need carefull inspection before daring to put a pack in. Stuff to do on
winters evenings perhaps...
Regards,
Chris
