I found that the best time was at night when I was able to
obtain a speed of about 30 KBytes per second. At that
rate, each download took about 12 hours.
Also, MD5SUMS is important so that anyone who does
the download can verify the image that they have.
If you are using Windows 98, a version of MD5.EXE is
available at:

click on the md5.zip link.
Finally, for those who don't have a high speed line or a
CDROM burner, I am willing to copy them for you. A new
estimate of the cost will be about $ US 4 / $ US 6 / $ US 8
for ONE / TWO / THREE CDs. It turns out that the mailer
cartons are expensive when purchased in small quantities
and only about 4 people have expressed an interest. The
price includes postage from Canada and is an estimate until
I check for sure at the post office. The old price did not
include postage and the mailer cost was underestimated.
If you have high speed internet access and a CD burner,
them it will be much faster to do it yourself.
However, if you already have the RT-11 Freeware CD
from Tim Shoppa, I would like to get in touch since future
RT-11 developments might change the current picture.
Plus, I am an RT-11 addict and I like to help other RT-11
users.
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
