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
