Jerome Fine replies:
Thank you for pointing this out again. I hope that we all attempt to
abide by your advice. Please also be aware that there is work in
progress (UNPAID by PDP-11 users who were or are still using
PDP-11 operating systems and real hardware - so it is taking much
longer than expected) to extend the hobby license. While it was
expected to be finished by now, hopefully by the end of this year?

As far as I can tell, you may have the wrong URL. The following
sites still seem active:
ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/digital/sim/software/
for the file
ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/digital/sim/software/rtv53swre.tar.Z
And the other is:
ftp://minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au/pub/PDP-11/Sims/Supnik_2.3/software/
for the file
ftp://minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au/pub/PDP-11/Sims/Supnik_2.3/software/rtv53swre.tar.gz
If you and William King can get directly in touch, I hope the two of you
can arrange to get the RSX11M+ V3.00 zipped ready for posting!
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
