We want to transfer data from a Micro PDP-11 (running RSX-11M) to a MicroVax-II (Ultrix 1.1) via 5 1/4 inch RX50-Floppies. Has someone out there written a program to read such files ?

Ultrix 2.x (maybe 1.x as well) has what looks like a complete rewrite of arff, so with any luck it should work on any FILES-11 structure. I know from experimental evidence that 4.3BSD arff works on 8200 RX50s (although if you try to `create' a file system, it will leave too few free blocks; so I `create' new floppies by copying existing DEC floppies with dd). -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7163) Domain: chris@mimsy.umd.edu Path: uunet!mimsy!chris

FILES-11 (also known as ODS-1) is the file system used by RSX-11, and is the little brother to ODS-2, the file system normally used by VAX/VMS. /etc/arff reads and writes RT-11 volumes, not FILES-11.
