I ordered it several years ago and installed it on a PDP-11/24 under RSX-11M and on a LSI-11 under RT-11. It would run just fine on the LSI-11 with 28KW and an RX01 floppy disk subsystem. The only problems you might have are getting the sources off the tape and building the compiler. The tape is in DOS-11 format and you may need to get some of the DECUS file transfer utilities if you are working with RT-11. While the compiler can be manually built on a floppy only system, it is much easier to build on a system with RL02's or some other type of hard disk. A recent DECUS catalog should have most of the info that you need. -- John A. Limpert UUCP: johnl@n3dmc.UUCP, johnl@n3dmc.UU.NET, uunet!n3dmc!johnl
