Well, I finally did it. I bought an RXV11 for my 11/23. Now a world of
software is available (even if it is ancient).

When I bought the disk drives, the person who sold it to me sent along his
collection of disks which happened to have RT-11 on them. He also sent what
documentation he had (which wasn't much - how to use PIP, how to use BASIC,
etc.). Unfortunately, it doesn't say how to copy from disk to disk, or how
to assign disk names, or how to add a printer and tell the system that there
is a printer sitting on port 2 of the DLV11-J on my system (no Section 2!!).

So...

Does anyone out there have some excess RT-11 manuals? The disks he sent have
version 2.6, version 3, version 4, and version 5. I'd like to get information
for version 5, but for now anything will do.

Also, does anyone know how I can get the RT-11 license transferred to my
name? I seem to remember someone telling how to do this on this news group
(comp.org.decus) about a year ago. Also, how much will it cost?

BTW: I don't know much about how old DEC systems work (if you hadn't
     noticed).
