PDP-11 Software Product Plans

This document is an interoffice memorandum from David Stone of Software Engineering, dated April 19, 1973, presenting the current software product plans for the PDP-11 line to the Operations Committee.

The document outlines a strategy to provide a compatible set of software products that span a wide price range. It includes tables detailing current and planned PDP-11 operating systems and programming languages, along with projections for software product shipments for fiscal year 1974. Finally, it highlights key areas of emphasis for FY74, which include streamlining the product portfolio by phasing out older components (such as DOS, MUMPS, and early versions of RSX-11), improving hardware/software/service integration, and exploring new network opportunities.
