Via one of the articles about that Unix V4 tape I found this 
https://eylenburg.github.io/os_familytree.htm which is quite an impressive 
chart of operating systems old and new.

A few bits are clearly incorrect or missing; for example, P/OS and TRAX are 
both not there.  I was going to mention them to the author of that chart but I 
don't actually know the correct placement.  (Is P/OS an RSX-11/M or M+ 
derivative?  I should know but don't.)

Neat to see RSX-15 mentioned as the ancestor of RSX-11/D.  Did the earlier 
RSX-11 versions ever ship?  I know I have seen traces of /A and/or /C...

The DOS-11 and RSTS entries aren't quite right either, I can send feedback for 
those.

Also, while VMS is reasonably listed as RSX-11/M derivative, I always thought 
that VAXElan was unrelated.  Along the same lines, where would 
MicroPower/Pascal fit?
