*PRODUCT NAME: RT-11, Version 5.7 SPD 12.01.41
* (Single-User Operating System)

*DESCRIPTION
*
*RT-11 is a software product of Mentec, Inc. and is licensed under Com-
*paq Computer Corporation's Standard Terms and Conditions.

If you browse down a bit further, you see:

*This very fast, multi-volume backup/restore facility supports the stream-
*ing capabilities of Compaq's TK25, TSV05, TSU05, TK50, TU80, and TU81+
*tape drives.

And to top it all off:

*Compaq recommends that all other customers purchase Compaq's In-
*stallation Services. These services provide for installation of the
*software product by an experienced Compaq Software Specialist.

If you want to see how much a "Compaq Software Specialist" knows about

a Compaq employee is trying to ask how to run BRU under RSX-11.
