[HECnet] Re: Fortran-77 on RSTS/E V10.1

[Wilm Boerhout]

In the meantime, I succesfully installed Fortran 77 V5.3 on RSTS 10.1

The tape file has the same origin as the V5.4 tape, 
ftp://ftp.trailing-edge.com/pub/rsts_dists/

As it turns out, the V5.4 tape file is neither an INSTAL nor an UPDATE 
tape image. (@[0,1]UPDATE FRTRN77 fails with the same error message).
