David (and the others that have responded),

	Yes RSTS/E is alive and well. We are up to Version 9.6 and the 
development continues. Development continues, new hardware gets supported,
DECNet/E keeps improving (we'll get CTERM someday ...), user and applications
can use seperate I&D space, supervisor space is finally being used also.
The backup/restore is compatable with VMS, most of DCL is VMS compatable,
there are Compatiability/co-existance manuals for RSTS/E - VMS covering
the subjects DCL, BASIC+2, FORTRAN, COBOL (which one can get *FREE* from
DEC ... if your sales person dosn't know about this drop me a note or
give me a call).

	I will attempt to get any problems questions forwarded to the
DECUS RSTS SIG steering committee and the RSTS/E development group.

	I am a member of the DECUS RSTS SIG steering committee.

	There is a RSTS SIG bulletin board system at St. Peters College,
Jersey City, NJ ... (201) 915-9361 ... give it a try...
