I remember RDOS very well, as I used it to build a mass spectrometry
system for AEI in 1972-75. There was a usable Fortran compiler, but I
don't know if it's on the disk image you have. All the analytical
software was written in Fortran; however, the real-time code was all
written in assembler.
I have the sources for that system, but only on paper, so there's no
useful way of bringing it back to life. I also have electronic sources
for a "memory-only" version that ran under RDOS's smaller brother, SOS.
This kit has RDOS command files to assemble and link the source code,
but it won't work under unmapped RDOS 7.5, as there isn't enough user
memory available. I haven't tried it under mapped RDOS.

I did indeed find some documents on Bitsavers.
The link given for Wild Hare was not as useful, but let to Simulogics
(Which I had seen before)
Simulogics appears to have some other documentation but I have not found it yet.
I have been able to:
- Create files
- List the directory
- Write directories off to tape (I have not tried reading them back)
- Create directories
- Gracefully shut down the machine (it seems anyway, it still complains
about something being in use when I bring it up..)
Now - It looks like the only language I have here is assembly. Steep
learning curve.
Ron.
