Eric, you seem to have an infinite mail forwarding loop set up between
beastie and workstation5. I tried to mail this, but it failed...

You can build a bootabl PRO floppy on an 11/23+, assuming that you have
all the pieces (like the distribution kit). The PROs floppies are called
DZ and the winny is DW. You also need the PRO's screen driver (it's a
bit-mapped screen) called PI. Finally, you have to have either RT11FB or
RT11XM; SJ won't run on it :-(.

Basically, you should copy (SWAP,RT11XM,DZ,DW,PIX).SYS to the floppy and
then COPY/BOOT:DZ to the floppy. You should then have a bootable RT-11
diskie for the thing. From there you can format the hard disk (if you copy
FORMAT.SAV over) and install on the hard disk.
