There was another system that came out at the same time as Solo and the UCSD
system: Tunis from Ric Holt then at Toronto. It's written in concurrent
Euclid which was one of many Pascal influenced languages of the time. It
originally ran on the 11 but I believe was later moved to the 68k and I

Note to Al Kossow -- you might consider renaming this directory. His
first name is "Per" as in Per Brinch Hansen. He chewed me out once

Thanks! UCSD seems to be much more user friendly than SOLO. I look
forward to messing around with it.

Ron,

A lot of the TOPS-20 manuals are plain text, or at least TeX, so convertible.
How do you use the simulators?do screen readers handle them well?

I actually started to put together a toolchain to OCR the bitsavers
documentation a few days ago. I'm not sure why Kevin mentioned MUMPS, but
since MUMPS-11, the precursor to DSM-11 and VAX-11 DSM, was my first
introduction to DEC kit, I was using the PDP-15 MUMPS manual as my test
subject.
I've

I believe that VMS is probable the only one of DEC's Operating Systems that
is likely to have machine readable documentation (Both PDF and HTML iirc.).
All of the other OSs were mostly out of production by the time that HTML
and PDF's became popular, and I don't believe that DEC ever gave away the
Hi. Afraid I am unaware of any attempts to OCR or retype the documentation.
It's a pet peeve of mine, but most other people around here seem to
prefer bitmaps of scans of the documentation. So I don't really expect
anything to happen there.
How were the systems installed? For PDP-11 systems,
Some of the PDFs on bitsavers are searchable. It would be a good
project to OCR the rest into searchable pdfs - as that also means that
the text can be extracted. OCR is getting good enough (finally) that
it's feasible. I'm sure that they'd be accepted back into bitsavers -
searchable is good
Hi All,
So the recent RSTS/E discussion has got me wondering what OS’s I might be able
to run under SIMH with readable documentation. As a totally blind enthusiast I
can’t really use the Bitsavers collection without manually running OCR on the
PDFs, a tedious and error-prone process.
