Guide to RT-11 Documentation

This document, "Guide to RT-11 Documentation" (AA-5285H-TC), published in July 1984, serves as a comprehensive guide to the software documentation set provided with the RT-11 Version 5.1 operating system. It also covers documentation for associated optional languages: FORTRAN IV (Version 2.6), BASIC-11 (Version 2.0), and MACRO-11 (Version 5.2).

The manual's primary purpose is to offer a brief synopsis of each document in the set and suggest a recommended reading path for various types of RT-11 users, including new users, MACRO-11 programmers, FORTRAN IV programmers, BASIC-11 programmers, and system managers. For experienced users, it acts as a reference to the content of individual manuals.

The documentation set is organized into categories such as "once-only" (for installation and initial setup), "console" (for reference at the terminal), and "desk/console" (for programming reference). It details manuals covering system release notes, installation, system generation, user operations, system utilities, messages, programming references, and language-specific guides. Additionally, the guide lists various optional software products available for RT-11 users.
