RT-11 TECO for the PDP-11 is a port of this code." > I sent a message to Richie and Jack Burness. The last statement is a little worrisome, as 'porting' PDP-8 assembler to the PDP-11 was really not done in my experience. Jack (Graphics) and Richie (OS) worked for the late Lorin Gale on the SW for the PDP-12 - which was based on the PDP-8 and then later rewrote a lot of things for Strecker's PDP-11. But, my experience is it was always a rewrite/modeled after more than a 'port'. FWIW: I also thought it was the late Kent Blackett that did much of the RT-11 work, but I'm not sure which is why I asked Jack and Richie who should remember. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
