Programming with RT-11

This volume is part of the RT-11 Technical User's Series, focusing on "Callable System Facilities" for RT-11 version 5.0. It is intended for programmers already familiar with MACRO-11, FORTRAN IV, or BASIC-11. The document is divided into several chapters covering:

• System Services: Explanation of programmed requests, how they interact with the monitor, and error handling.
• System Information: Methods to access system communication and memory areas.
• Program Execution: Techniques for starting, exiting, chaining programs, and passing command strings.
• Input/Output Systems: Details on synchronous, asynchronous, and event-driven I/O, including terminal and queued I/O.
• Multiterminal Support: Programming for multi-terminal environments.
• Nonsynchronous/Queued I/O: Techniques for overlapping I/O operations and using multiple buffering.
• Memory Management: Managing memory allocation and USR swapping.
• Command String Interpreter (CSI): Parsing and utilizing command strings for I/O operations.
• Time-Dependent Programming: Handling system time, dates, mark-time routines, and timed waits.

It also includes a section providing solutions to various practice exercises.
