hi,

i need to transfer ascii files from a pdp11/23 running rt11 to 
a vax11/750 running vms v4.1.  i have plenty of experience in 
vms, however i am not familiar with the pdp11 or rt11.
tape tranfer seems like the best way but i was unable to 
write in a form readable by vms.

thanks for any help,

RT-11 ascii files can be read using COPY (or PIP in compatibility mode).
Mount the tape /blocksize=512 and /nohdr2 (I think). EXHANGE might also
work (I haven't tried it).

1. Use kermit.
2. Use flx (see "Utilitie" manual) - rsx and rt understand this format
   (rt understands nothing else, in fact).
3. Write a mag tape with fixed record and block size and then read on
   the vax end.  You may have to write programs for this...
4. Use decnet.

Look into Kermit.
