RT-11 (CMX/GVG) Disk Utility

RT-11 was an early operating and file system that ran on DEC PDP architecture computers. These were used by important early editing systems including CMX and GVG SuperEdit. The EDLs from these systems were recorded on 5.5 inch and 3.5 inch "RT-11" format floppy disks.

WRT is a freeware utility by Jack Calaway for handling EDL files on CMX, GVG, and DOS disks on Windows PCs with floppy drives. It performs copying from disk to disk (single or groups, RT11 or DOS), file deletions, renames, RT11 squeeze (space recovery), and other operations. WRT may require Windows NT 4.0 and its installer may fail if the machine has no floppy drive.

WtccII is a time code calculator. WtccII installs and runs on systems as late as Windows 7
