I wonder if RSX used 63 for Datatrieve because the registration for object 63 names it
"DTR". That's "DECnet Test Receiver" but of course it also
happens to be the RSX three-letter acronym for Datatrieve.
I have a document that seems to be part of the Phase V set, in a folder marked "from
Antonio Carlini". Here's a text version.

Columbia did an DECnet finger server for Tops-20.
As I recall, wefirst used the same numeric object type as TCP (I.E., 79), although 117
does not sound unfamiliar for some strange reason... We certainly could have changed it,
but I don't remember why. Is something else on 79?
Not anything I know, but I've never seen an exhaustive list of objects defined for
DECnet either. Heck, the RSX DECnet manuals don't even go as far as tell that
Datatrieve is object 63, instead claiming that objet 63 is "RSX DECnet test
tool", whatever that might be.
