Note that there is the Unix version of Macro-11 that I worked on.
So you could transfer some library files and let it extract them.

My main goal was to make it more fully correspond to the RSX version
where the original was more RT-11 oriented (but probably also had some
outright bugs). But I added an option to extract object libraries; it
could do macro libraries already.

See https://github.com/Rhialto/macro11 .

While working on this I noticed that the file format had some subtle
differences between RT11 and RSX. You can find the differences by
looking at the mlb.c file versus mlb-rsx.c. The main difference was I
think that RSX version has length indicators in the directory blocks
were the RT11 version seemingly has not.
