Well, to quote Eric Cartman: "I would if I could, you..." .. I
dont have anything for RSTS other than RSTS itself, *and* have
a serious lack in knowledge of the system :) Learning RSX and
RSTS is high on my todo-list.

But, if you give me directions, and a copy of dnet/e, I can
always try it on my hardware and emu's...
