The RSTS Forth is more than FIG-FORTH; it adds the FORTH-83 (FORTH-79?) language standard features. I used it for several applications, the biggest by far is SDA, an interactive RSTS crash dump analyzer. 4600 lines of code... It should be in the kit. paul

If you want to try something entirely different, dig up the FORTH runtime system that's part of the V10.1 "unsupported" kit. It's a neat language. Still in use, in fact. I used that FIG FORTH package ages ago on real PDP-11's. Was never impressed with Forth so much. Only time I was impressed was when I worked with OpenPROM which was all written in Forth. Wanted to do one for the PDP-11 but lost interest when Sun gave it to IEEE and they wanted several thousand dollars just to look at it. Now I am more interested in sticking with the serious business languages that ran on the PDP-11. bill

DIBOL and RPG for RSTS
Does anyone have a .tap image of a DIBOL install tape for RSTS? And while I am at it, was there ever RPG for RSTS? I am so bored I have decided to really load up a SIMH system and just live in the past for a while. I have Fortran-IV, Fortran-77, COBOL-81 and C installed now as well as BASIC and MACRO. But I haven't had the chance to do any DIBOL or RPG for quite some time and would love to try them again. bill

My thanks as well. I've used it for years and have a 386 machine dedicated to running it.

I use it constantly on my floppy archiving box and it's one of the most important tools in my workflow. I've even used it to realign several floppy drives with great success. I truly appreciate your work on it.

help needed: Document scan of ISS Sperry Univac Driver Exerciser avalaible for bitsavers upload
Hello list, I have a scan of a manual with schematics for a ISS Sperry Univac Driver Exerciser for 7330 and 843x type of disk drives that was kindly scanned and provided to me by Mark from the Computer History Archivies Project, since he and myself happen to come accross such exercisers. I contacted two times Al via email for access credentials to upload the document as I did in the past years for numerous scans, but I never got an answer. He is probably very busy during the last months. In case anybody has access for uploading documents on this list, can you contact me so that we can make this document available to everybody? Best regards, Pierre - http://www.digitalheritage.de
