210.0. "RTL2 on a VAX?" by LARVAE::BRIGGS (They use computers don't they?) Tue Nov 01 1988 08:52

    I have a customer who wishes to port a suite of RTL2 software running
    under RSX-11S to a VAX/VMS system. In general, what are the issues
    likely to be?

210.1translate into AdaCOMICS::DEMORGANRichard De Morgan, UK CSCWed Nov 02 1988 11:087
    Probably the best idea is to translate it into Ada. RTL/2 put quite
    a lot of input into Ada (the author of RTL/2, John Barnes, contributed
    significantly to Ada development). I don't know of an RTL/2
    implementation on VAX. If you want a more informed opinion (there
    may be tools already available to do the translation), I suggest
    you contact John. He is MD of Alsys in Henley - phone number is
    0491-579090.
210.2Two issuesCOMICS::DEMORGANRichard De Morgan, UK CSCWed Nov 02 1988 11:102
    BTW - two issues: RTL/2 I/O is very simple. It is also has a fractional
    type - that might pose a problem.

    Just to keep this note up to date.
    
    There are two companies in the UK who specialise in RTL/2 and migrating
    PDP users to VAX RTL/2. These are...
    
    Real Time Consultants of Leamington - 0926 450858
    
    SD-SCICON - 0276 686200

    They both supply their own compilers and consultancy
