Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME: MU BASIC-11/RT-11, Version 2.0
DESCRIPTION:
BASIC is a conversational programming language
developed at Dartmouth College that uses simple English language-like statements and familiar mathematical notations to perform operations.
MU BASIC-11/RT-11 is an interpreter operating under
the RT -11 operating system foreground/background
(FB) monitor with multiterminal capability (up to
eight).
MU BASIC-11/RT-11 Features
• One to four users on PDP-11/03, LSI-11, or PDT11/150 systems
• One to eight users with equal size memory partitions on larger PDP-11s; no swapping
• A variety of program manipulation commands,
including commands for saving, editing, running,
and retrieving BASIC programs
• Suport for real (single or double precision) integer
and string data types
• Ability to run in either the foreground or background under the RT-11 FB monitor concurrently
with another job; supports all RT-11 supported
devices (except VT11 )
• Support for all terminals supported by RT-11
• User identification and file protection scheme to
control system access and utilization (optional);
public and group libraries for tile sharing; privileged
user capability
• All peripheral devices can be used by any user at
any terminal. However, the ASSIGN and
DEASSIGN commands permit restricted use of a
non-public device to a single user
• Limited ability for a user to ASSIGN a terminal (that
is currently not in use) as an input or output device
• Sequential data storage using the RT-11 file system
The maximum number of simultaneously open files
is limited only by available memory and RT-11
channel considerations
• Virtual arrays on disk (integer, real, and string) for
processing quantities of data too large to fit in available memory, or for performing random-access I/O

• Program chaining and overlaying with COMMON to
accommodate large programs
• Formatted output with PRINT USING statement
• String support, complete with string arrays and
functions
.
• A CALL statement that allows easy interfacing of
assembly language routines. These routines can be
called by name and passed multiple arguments.
These routines must be included at link time.
• Immediate mode execution for desk calculator
operation and program debugging
• Privileged mode to protect applications programs
MINIMUM HARDWARE REQUIRED:
Any valid RT -11, Version 4.0 (FB monitor with multiterminal support) configuration with:
• RK11, RX11, or RL 11 controller and drive
• Line frequency clock
• 56K bytes of memory
Total memory required depends on the number of
users, length of programs, BASIC features included,
devices used, and number of simultaneously open
files. A maximum of four users are supported for PDP11/03, LSI-11, or PDT -11/150 based systems.
DECtape II is not supported as the system device.
OPTIONAL HARDWARE:
Supports any device supported by the prerequisite
software (except VT11).
PREREQUISITE SOFTWARE:
One of the following:
• RT -11, Version 4.0 Operating System with multiterminal support multiterminal support must be
sysgened into RT-11; and RT-11 SYSGEN is
included in an MU BASIC-11/RT-11 installation.
• RT2, Version 4.0 with multiterminal support
OPTIONAL SOFTWARE:
None
