I've always liked RT-11 FB, which is an entirely different design than the
older SJ monitor. Partly it's because its author was my college mentor, and
one of the very best programmers I've ever met in over 40 years.
Unfortunately the stripped (no comments) sources omit the literary quotes he
liked to sprinkle all over the RT-11 sources. For example "A source of
innocent merriment -- The Mikado" in the idle loop (the lights pattern code).
