Nope.

DECUS dropped all PDP-8 software long ago. I got a bunch of it from the 
in the late 80s, not long before they tossed it. I seriously doubt they 
kept anything. It's so long ago now that I've probably forgotten, but 
something in the back of my head keeps saying that they officially told 
that they had tossed it. But I could be wrong on that.

But DECUS didn't even keep the PDP-11 stuff around, which meant that for 
a while, many moons ago, when the DECUS software was available on the 
Internet, it was only the VMS bits. The DECUS pages was pointing at a 
site I was responsible for, for PDP-8 and PDP-11 stuff.
