Or do you want to know about the lowest-cost way of getting it legally? Ask your DEC salesperson about 'license to copy' which is the cheapest correct way to do this.

Correct me if I am wrong, (won't be the first time) but I am under the impression that RT-11 version 2 and older (they are on at least version 5 now) is in the public domain. Of course version 2 is a bit primitive compared to version 3 on up, as it does not have the friendly DCL-like command line interpreter, .com files, etc etc. but is certainly still useful for "real-time" duties. Anybody have some facts on this? Wade Blomgren UCSD-ACS ...sdcsvax!sdacs!wade

First, the license: QY013-UZ RT-11 Class L license with warranty $500.00 then, you need to order binaries and documentation. The order number depends on what kind of media you want: QJ013-H3 RT-11 on RX50 diskettes + doc $750.00 QJ013-H5 RT-11 on TK50 tape cartridge + doc $900.00 QJ013-HD RT-11 on 9-track 800bpi magtape + doc $900.00 QJ013-HH RT-11 on RL02 cartridge disks + doc $1100.00 QJ013-HM RT-11 on 9-track 1600bpi magtape + doc $900.00 QJ013-HQ RT-11 on RL01 cartridge disks + doc $1100.00 QJ013-HX RT-11 on RX02 diskettes + doc $900.00 QJ013-HY RT-11 on RX01 diskettes + doc $900.00 If you work at a company that already has RT-11 licensed to another computer, you may copy theirs, but you need to buy the right-to-copy license. You will probably want to get your own copy of the documentation, too: QJ013-HZ RT-11 RTC license, no media or doc $315.00 QJ013-GZ RT-11 documentation only $545.00 Those last two items come to $860 -- unfortunately, you only save $40 by doing the copying yourself. Beware, though: a local user bought the right-to-copy license, then found that no one had a version newer than 5.2 (current version is 5.4) and it did not support his TK50 tape drive. All of the above items may be ordered through DECDirect, 800-258-1710, or through Digital's Electronic Store, (800-DEC-DEMO, 1200/2400bps, VT100/200 required) if you have an account there.
