Many moons ago when I worked at Service Merchandise the store's system
ran on a Data General NOVA under RDOS.  I think it was a NOVA 4.
Unfortunately I never got to do anything at the OS level.  A menu
driven system popped up as soon as the time and date were entered.  

I think the apps were written in Business BASIC.  Does anyone know if
Business BASIC is available to hobbyists?  I've been meaning to learn
a little about RDOS, and Business BASIC if available.

What's the definition of a legacy system?  One that works!
