Cool! Thanks for your advice, it works great now!

Now the problem I have is trying to set up Dungeo (and adventure and such
like...) on this machine. The only source I can find is for VMS (off the
trailing edge website)... I've experimented with using a rt11 .sav file,
but so far no dice.

Does anyone have .sav versions of these old games for RSTS/E? Or the
fortran sources for RSTS?

Wow. 12 hours to test a disk. Ah, the good old days. I thought it was
slow (at about 10 minutes) on my 366 laptop... (;

I'm working out an idea in my head to interface the whole thing though my
(homebrew) Ruby BBS. Might mean creating a couple
hundred accounts, though...

Thanks for all your help. This is a great group. I think you guys are
stuck with me now.

Take Care,

Mark
