    Ray,

    I am at work, or I'd try to throw an image together for you. I'll
    look at this tonight. In the meantime, I have some notes on how to
    do it that should hold up even though I wrote then a couple of
    years ago. There are two - one for RT11 and one for the
    programming environment. If you follow them both, you should wind
    up with a working RT11 v5.3 with Fortran IV that is capable of
    building the ADVENT source code into a working program. After that
    you're on your own - I'm not a RT11 guy or a Fortran guy :)

    Now that my interest is tweaked, I may clean 'em up and post them
    on my blog in a more readable form.

    Thanks,

    Will

Hi Will,

I am not a Fortran person either but I do have a little bit of RT11 experience, along with a fair bit of SIMH experience, and I just wanted to say that both of these documents are exceptionally well done.  Their explicit transcription and verbosity make them suitable for the absolute beginner, and that same plain English makes them easy to scan through for someone who knows a bit more about the subject.  I applaud your work.

Thanks! I was trying to capture what I understood about it at the time and do it in a way that would also be replicable down the road. I should have put it up on the blog, but I generally won't put it out there if it's not 100% and this one has a few rough edges that I haven't taken the time to clean up.

Will
