did you ever find a patch? LOL!

I cant imagine anyone uses RT11 anymore! Somewhere I have an RX11 with some RT11 stuff on it! Now they were floppy disks.

No, I was not able to find a patch for this RT-11 version. As far as I know, a patch is available for the latest distributed RT-11 version.

Your every day run of the mill Y2K bug. If you have the source one would think it should be a fairly simple fix; but if I remember right the way this series of OS address dates is rather peculiar. I run OS/8 which is similar and just put in an older date; for example for 2010 I put in 1993, that way all the dates and days of the week match up.

Cool.
