and there's also the question of what's available in terms of
installation media for either OS.? I'd want the most recent version I

find, and hopefully something Y2K compliant so I don't have to fudge the
system date.? And it has to have DECnet, so it can be on HECnet, of
course.
And whatever languages are available.

For RSTS/E you can find a lot at Brett Bump's
RSTS.ORG site.

I'm really glad Brett is still kicking, and still into RSTS. He was
my RSTS mentor 34 years ago when I was 17; we spent many long nights on
the phone (he in Nebraska, me in NJ) with me in front of my PDP-11/34.
Maybe someone should reach out to him, and see if he'd be interesting in
joining this merry gang?
(I sortof wonder if he used to be subscribed, but mails started
bouncing, but I might be confusing people...)
