Jerome Fine replies:
Since both SIMH and Ersatz-11 work under W95/W98, I can't
see why SIMH will not work under DOS will not handle SIMH
as well as E11.
Please try again.

As far as I know, both SIMH and E11 run any PDP-11 operating
system.
For myself, I have used ONLY RT-11, but both SIMH and E11
run very well.

Normally, a DSK type file is fully expanded. If you have a file which
is 10 MBytes (20450 blocks of 512 bytes each), then it is almost
certain you have a copy of an RL02 distribution for V5.03 of RT-11.
Under E11, the commands:
MOUNT DL0: rtv53_rl.dsk/RL02/RONLY
BOOT DL0:
should get you started.
The compressed file which contains the V5.03 of RT-11 distribution
for an RL02 media is 1,373,083 bytes. you need to UnZip this file
which I have heard produces 3 files.
RT-11 was probably the first major operating system for the PDP-11
and was first released in the early 1970s. V5.06 was released by DEC
in August 1992 and was partially made Y2K. V5.07 was released by
Mentec in November 1998.

Let us know how you made out. Any other questions?
