YIPPEE!!!!!! Long story!!!!
When I attempt to run wget, I receive the error response file:
--17:49:29--
http://www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11/rt11freewarev2.iso.gz
=> `rt11freewarev2.iso.gz'
Connecting to www.classiccmp.org:80... connected!
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden
17:49:31 ERROR 403: Forbidden.
Eventually, I somehow got the idea to try:
wget -b
http://www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11/RT-11/freeware-CDS/images/rt11freewarev2.iso.gz
which is the address of the actual file rather than a pointer -
or at least I guess that is what is at the second location. In
any case, it finally WORKED and I was able to download
a file that was 180,333,547 bytes. It took about 30 minutes
at probably about 120 KBytes per second. Then I used WinZip
(actually I just clicked on the file name in Windows Explorer)
and the file "rt11freewarev2.iso" was extracted. YIPPEE!!!!!
If anyone wants a copy of the file: utils.zip - 327,236 bytes
contact either of us.
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
