This is what I know, thought I knew or remember:
• The front-end connected to the master DTE (I.E., *the* front-end) runs a version of
RSX called RSX20F
• The DN60 software running to speak RJE/37xx/HASP to an IBM system is specially written
and not RSX based.
• The DN20 software is or was called "MCB". Somewhere there is an email as to
what this means. I don't know if it is RSX based.
I never heard of COPOS/11 and there is no mention of it in any of the emails that I have
preserved from the 80's and 90's. The Tops-10 NFT and related sources appear to
have some special casing for it. That's of interest because I don't believe the
MCB could do DAP or had FAL.
I was wondering what ELAN meant?
ELAN is a VAX real time kernel, designed to allow the creation of memory-only
applications. An example of a product built on top of ELAN is the LPS40 PostScript
printer,
