Just to notify - SPTAPE LOAD worked and I have restored the 'DSSVFORT DCS S' file to NSS spool area, after that VS Fortran 2 seems to work OK, at leas t I managed to run the verification procedure as per SC26-4339 document,
which Larry Davis kindly provided link to. Thank you very much for your support, everyone, that really woke up some sort of nostalgy feelings abo ut computers I used to work at university (any PDP11-s left in this world?). I will proceed further to see if there are any other issues down there (aft er making DCSSBKUP, of course), as I have been asked already for a part-time administration of this system.
