[comp.os.vms] Query: Fortran77 VAX to RSX

yoram@cheshire.columbia.edu (Yoram Eisenstadter) (08/25/87)

Hello,

Does anybody out there know about DEC's "VAX-11 RSX" product for
emulating PDP-11 RSX code on VAXes?

The specific question is: DEC seems to market a companion
product, "FORTRAN77 VAX to RSX", which is the PDP-11 Fortran
compiler running under the above environment.  The catch is that
while VAX-11 RSX is supposed to run on all CPUs from the MicroVAX
up, the Fortran77 product is only listed as being supported on
the 8200 and up.

A friend of mine would be very interested in this product if it
ran on a MicroVAX, but is unable to get a straight answer (or
even a glimmer or recognition) from his regional DEC salespeople
(even though the product is listed in their software pricelists).

Any information on this software, or hints on how to find out
technical details about obscure DEC software products, would be
most welcome.

Please reply by E-mail to me, since I don't usually read this newsgroup.

Thanks..Yoram
