I was given a disc image of the system for the PDP11
I'll try to dig it up for you.

Firstly, many thanks. I've downloaded it, and will get on to it right away.
Re: Command laguage - judging from what the book "The Architecture of
Concurrent Programs" says, I always assumed that the job control language was
pascal itself, eg, pg 70, 71:
"if the user forgets which programs are available, he may for example type:
help
(or anything else). The system responds by writing
not executable, try
list(catalog, seqcode, console)
The suggested command lists the names of all sequential programs on the
console."
"Still more information about a program can be gained by reading its manual
copy(readman, console)
"
and, pg 75:
"The program does not know whether it is being called by another program or
directly from the console."
Thus like the LispMachine, the operating system is user-extensible.
If it's any help, I've got the book, and it does contain a brief section on
usage - I'm sure I could make a valid case for Fair Use if I copied the user
HOWTO out and posted it on my web site as a HOWTO for anyone as interested as
me in Concurrent Pascal and Solo - understanding that the section is only 9
pages long, and about 4 of those are half-pages. Thus it is obvious I am not
intending to copy the entire book and thus bilk Prentice-Hall out of sales.
Only thing is, I need to get in touch with Prentice-Hall, the publishers, to
put my case to them.
Anyone know the name of the person I should get in touch with?

I've located a paper which describes the system, which I've put
up along with the disc image in www.spies.com/aek/solo
I'll see about extracting all of the files.

I've located the SOLO RK05 disc image. I tested it with
SIMH, and it appears to work. The command language is a
bit opaque; it would be a great help if you could find
out if they might still have the documentation, even if
they didn't have the code itself.
Hopefully, Bob Supnik can get permission to add this
to the SIMH software archive.
