More RT-11 questions

Hi Tim,

[Note that I went to the directory off the PDP-11 home page that alleges to
have notes on RT-11 but except for the DECUS disks there aren't that many
notes, and on the DECUS disks there is mostly just source code. (which
would be ok if I can figure out how to assemble something into a SAV file)]

Ok, so when I boot the disk labelled RT-11V02C on my H-11 it seems to work
except if I try to use PIP to copy a file to a disk I formatted with HT-11
it doesn't work (gives me DIR-RD-ERR).

I realize DEC was "famous" for not providing formatting software but is
there a FORMAT program for this version? Interestingly PIP on the HT-11
DISK can read the disks just not the "official" RT11
