(Remind me, was the RSTS/E 10.1 Macro assembler date listing fully Y2K compliant? I remember that being a sticking point under one of the OS's.)

I hadn't noticed, but the answer is no.  Looking at some RT Macro listings under RSTS V10, the one from 2000 has the year shown as "100" while the one from 2010 has the year shown as "78".

RSTS itself is Y2K compliant, though; this seems like an issue either with the RT11 date encoding, or with the RT11 emulator.
