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

[Wilm Boerhout]

I goofed.

Although BRU may or may not work on RSTS, it is definitely not needed 
for the upgrade from Fortran-77 from V5.3 to V5.4

The installation of the Auto-Installer uses RSTS "restore" to get 
AUTOIN.COM and associated stuff from tape to the AUTOIN$: account.

I simply got my installation pages mixed up. Sorry for the confusion.

I am now running V5.4 of Fortran-77 on HECnet node PIRSTS::
