The DECUS C compiler runs under RT11 (among other os's), and I'm pretty
sure it'll run on a non-seperate I&D space 11, ie., it'll run on anything.
If your machine is so small it doesn't have 64kb of core (none of that
new-fangled MOS stuff:-), you might want to up it to that.  The copy I
have on RX01's came from an 11/23.  If someone will send me a bootable
RT11 system on an RX02, I'll send them back a copy of the DECUS C I've
got.  You see, I upgraded from rx01's to rx02's, and my v5 rt11 distribution
is on rx01's, with the wrong boot blocks....
