| I don't have any direct answers for you but I may be able to point you in the
right direction.
1) I remember from a trade show a few years ago that Digital sold all of
our PDP-11 software to a small third-party company. If you can find that
company, they might be able to help you.
2) I know a guy by the name of Stuart Brook who is a contractor for Digital
in Colorado Springs. His specialty is PDP-11 software. He could at
least be a start for you. Be sure to mention my name when you call
him. He's not in ELF, but I got this from Switchbard on the Web:
Brook, Stuart H 6155 Bestview Way, Colorado Springs, CO 80918-5638
Phone: (719)592-1705
3) If the PDP-11's are used on the manufacturing floor to drive manufacturing
devices, call John Egolf or Gary Schiessl to see if there are any
Digital BASEstar solutions that would fit.

It's impossible to hide any more :-)

PDP-11s are just fine! :-)

| Thanks for the prompt reply.
Yes I knew that PDP software is now ordered from Mentec Inc (checked with
Alta Vista before I posted the note!). Also we have local Basestar expertise
if this is needed, some of it was written by engineers in this office.
I'll pass on your contact names though.
It was remote management tools though I was really after any experience on,
rather than the operating systems or application migration. I done some
digging and found out from a CSC contact that VCS has been used in the past
to manage and control PDPs which suggests Console Manager will fit the needs.
