Bill, Good luck. There is precious little commercial software available for the Pro these days, since it was officially "retired" 2, maybe 3 years ago. You should resurrect your DECUS membership. All (or the vast majority) of Digital's software for the Pro was contributed to the DECUS library in the past several months. You won't find a database there, but you should find Prose-Plus, which is sorta kinda workable as a word processor (better than EDT in some sense, less good in others). Rbase was never ported to the Pro as far as I know. There is (I take back my earlier statement) some sort of primitive database mangler that was part of the Pro Applications Starter Kit from DEC and which may be available as part of the stuff DECUS has… I'm not sure. Hardcopy, btw, was bought out by Digital News (which is somewhat similar to Digital Review) a couple of years ago. The three current periodicals are Digital Review, Digital News, and DEC Professional. There are others available on a paid-subscription basis. There is basically no PDP-11 coverage in any of them. -Bill
