[HECnet] Basic-11 for IAS/RSX

Oleg, Thanks again for making this Basic-11 distribution available for RSX11M / RSX11D / IAS !!! This has been something I have been trying to find for years. That is the DEC Basic-11 interpreter for RSX. Also, the patches that you made to make it Y2K compatible is a bonus. The BasicPlus2 compiler is very full featured but to run a Basic program it has to compile it internally first. Having the same Basic-11 as RT-11 is really nice to have. A second discovery for me was when I went out to the hobby barn to find my Basic-11 manual, I found at the back of it the IAS/RSX BASIC User’s Guide which provides information specific to RSX/IAS features for Basic-11. I don’t think this is available online at bitsavers or elsewhere so in the next few days I’ll scan it and send it to Al K. For any one looking at this distribution and wanting to use it. Use VCP to mount it as a virtual disk. The .OBJs, .CMDs, and .ODLs files are then in VFn:[11,104] and in [11,104] are the object files and command files to TKB it. There was also a version for RSX11S which is interesting. To task build: This is a fast non-overlaid version that uses FPP instructions but there are also .CMDs for no-FPP and overlaid version that install with /INC=46000 in case you need a tiny bit more space for a large BASIC program. Thanks again Oleg!!! Mark
