Are the comments in the source on the hidden trailing edge archives?
Don't think so. As far as I know, Tim only have access to the same
distributions that DEC provided to everyone. The actual, commented
sources, pretty much didn't leave DEC/Mentec/XX2247 yet.

I know that RT-11 is under license from Mentec but is there a way to get the
sources for it? I would like preferably v5.3. I have an idea for project to
teach my self rudimentary OS design and I would like to use RT-11 as an example
since PDP-11 assembly is the only assembly I know and I am already comfortable
with RT-11.
I've always liked RT-11 FB, which is an entirely different design than the
older SJ monitor. Partly it's because its author was my college mentor, and
one of the very best programmers I've ever met in over 40 years.
Unfortunately the stripped (no comments) sources omit the literary quotes he liked to
sprinkle all over the RT-11 sources. For example "A source of innocent merriment --
The Mikado" in the idle loop (the lights pattern code).
