Talk:RSTS-11

MiniRSTS?

Where does "miniRSTS" come from? I've never heard that name. Certainly it was never used at DEC, and I've never heard it use elsewhere in the RSTS community either.

MiniRSTS

Paul, you have at least a decade more experience with this than I do. You should be writing the history. I just created my wiki account 2 days ago so this is all new to me.

There was only one (1) place I ever saw the word MiniRSTS on a DIGITAL document. It was in the packing slip that explained the distributed software (an RK05 platter with DOS V08-02 and paper tapes).

I have never seen the term in any DIGITAL manual or referenced in any of the software that ran on RSTS-11 (most of which you wrote). If this is an incorrect term, it should be removed.

Merge proposal

This has come up a few times and everyone agrees it should be done... thought I'd stimulate the idea again. I could go at it myself, but am not by any means a subject expert (other than using and programming for RSTS many, many years ago).--NapoliRoma (talk) 00:25, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for putting up the formal merge templates as I was just getting ready to merge these pages. If you check Talk:RSTS/E I think you'll find that everyone is already pretty much in agreement on this, I've just been taking a lot of time to rebuild the merged pages. My deadline for this was to be January 1st, 2008 but I'm still missing a few items. Also I've left considerable "new" material out as I believed that content should go in sub-pages as to not clutter up the main article. The merged page should be up in a day or two (unless there is some immediate objection). Bbump (talk) 05:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
