[Simh] RT-11 .DSK usage (was DECUS C)

[Michael Richter]

What I'm not catching is where to get this FLX program from.  The only FLX I
can find anywhere runs on Linux or other Unix-alikes.  My RSTS/E 9.6
installation doesn't have any file anywhere beginning with FLX.  (I don't
have an RSX-11M machine to try this with yet, mind.)
