Actually, an "on-line" version of the RT-11 mini ref nearly made it into
the 5.7 release. Space considerations on the floppy distributions is
what axed the idea in the end. And all the manuals are "on-line" here,
just not publicly accessible :-(.

If it's not there, then an web-accessible version of the same information
(albeit for RT-11 5.7, the Y2K compliant version) is available from

  http://www.trailing-edge.com/~shoppa/rthelp/

or

  http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-11/rthelp/

The second reference will be faster to view, though slower to type in :-)
The above references have been available for well over a year and a half
now.

Gees, should I start signing myself "Tim Shoppa, Current RT-11 Developer,
Former Nuclear Astrophysicist?" ? :-)
