- My apologies, George ! SIOD is beautiful, and I have held it up to others
- as an example of excellence in a world of bloatware. Thank you very much
- for sharing it with us !

- I guess SIOD came out in the same sentence because I have yet to find a
- C compiler on a PDP-11 (for RSX or RT-11) or for CP/M-80 that will compile
- it straight-away without having to rewrite things to get around compiler
- issues (with PDP-11 C I guess it's ANSI stuff, and under CP/M with MIX C
- MIX is probably just too lame without going to assembly myself). Of course
- that has more to do with my lack of time or laziness than anything possibly
- related to SIOD -- so my apologies.
-
- Would you happen to have an executable binary for RT-11 anyplace (I still
- work and consult on PDP-11s myself).
