Installing Saturn Calc, Graph and Word processing:

This software is being distributed on a zipped RL02 disk image file located on the Downloads page of this wiki. If you are using a PiDP-11/70 or Simh, it is easiest to get the zip file with wget. This may already be installed on the Raspberry Pi of your PiDP-11/70, but if not just:

$ sudo apt-get install wget

then to retrieve the zip file into the RSX folder on the PiDP-11/70:

$ cd /opt/pidp11/systems/rsx11mplus/ $ wget http://www.rsx11m.com/Saturn.zip --2026-08-01 20:26:56-- http://www.rsx11m.com/Saturn.zip Connecting to www.rsx11m.com:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: 3772652 (3.6M) [application/zip] Saving to: ‘Saturn.zip.1’

$ unzip Saturn.zip Archive: Saturn.zip

Now from the console of the running RSX system, type a control E to access simh, and attach the RL02 disk image file to DL0 (rl0 in simgh): >^E sim>attach rl0 SaturnRSX.dsk sim>C > Now you can mount the RL02 disk with the Saturn distribution IN RSX:
