I goofed.
Although BRU may or may not work on RSTS, it is definitely not needed
for the upgrade from Fortran-77 from V5.3 to V5.4
The installation of the Auto-Installer uses RSTS "restore" to get
AUTOIN.COM and associated stuff from tape to the AUTOIN$: account.
I simply got my installation pages mixed up. Sorry for the confusion.
I am now running V5.4 of Fortran-77 on HECnet node PIRSTS::

Well, the manual is for Fortran-77 on all -11
OS's, including VAX-11 RSX.
The instructions for installing the Auto-Install script are in the
RSTS section of the installation manual, and on RSTS, the AUTOIN$:
logical is present, pointing to the [0,80] account.

That sounds like the RSX installation manual.?
RSTS doesn't have
anything called BRU, never did.
