I have already posted several articles to this group regarding RSTS in its
current state (well, I'm at 9.5 which is almost current...).  I have seen no
replies to my messages.  All I have seen is some nostalgia about 'the
old days' of RSTS.  OK, everyone lets get the reminiscing over with and
start some discussion about presentday concerns.  RSTS is alive and still
being used on a daytoday basis by some people.  If any of those people
are reading this and share in my interest to discuss RSTS 9.x, please
give me some signs of life!  Otherwise, I will go away and those of you
who used RSTS 'once upon a time' and consider it an amusing piece of historical
trivia can take over!!!

	I was sure that I posted a reply to the group. We still have a
RSTS/E system (V9.6-11) with DECNet (V4.1) on a PDP-11/70.
	I am a member of the DECUS (Digital Equipment Computer Users Group)
RSTS SIG (Special Interest Group) Steering Committee, and represent that
group on the DECUS Communications Committee. I will try to forward your
questions/concerns to the Steering Committee and/or the RSTS Software
Engineering Group.
