Just last week, I needed to put Kermit-11 on a SimH PDP-11 running RSTS/E, and
the only reference to doing that that I could find via Google was Mr. Richter's
message of 30 April.

Since I've built a number of SimH tape images for the PDP-10 (and KLH10), and
had access to other PDP-11 images for comparison, I decided to create my own.
I downloaded the relevant files from the Kermit repository at Columbia,
including the installation documentation, and build a working Kermit-11 install
tape for RSTS using GNU Emacs.

I've put the result on my personal web page at

Note that I used the old DECUS format rather than the SimH format.
