RT-11 was an OS for the PDP-11. Overall it has a very OS/8 feel to it.
Contents
notes
The filesystem was like that of OS/8 in that files are stored complete on the disk, so that if you delete them the disk will need to be 'squished' back down. http://www.vaxdungeon.com/

Commands
These are a few commands that I've managed to work out, in no particular order.
DIR command
Just like MS-DOS
RUN command
Dungeon for example is executed with RUN. I think you have to run .sav files.
.RUN DUNGEO Welcome to Dungeon. This version created 10-AUG-78. You are in an open field west of a big white house with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here. >
@ command
COM files are like batch scripts, and are executed with the @ infront of them.
.@STARTS.COM .D 56=5015 .TYPE V4USER.TXT Welcome to RT-11 Version 4. RT-11 V04 provides new hardware support and some major enhancements over Version 3B. Please use the HELP command; it describes the new options in many of the utilities. If you are using a terminal that requires fill characters, modify location 56 with a Deposit command before proceeding with system installation. LA36 DECwriter II and VT52 DECscope terminals do NOT require such modification.
Squish command
Disks will need to be 'defraged' or compacted with this command. In some version it'll just be SQU.
.SQU Device? DK0: RK0:/Squeeze; Are you sure? Y
SHOW command
This is a very usefull command to show some info about the OS.
.SHOW TT RK (Resident) RK0 = SY , DK BA PC NL LP MS MT DM DL DX DP 4 free slots
show configuration
