Like other Digital operating systems, DOS-11 also had a FORTRAN-IV (Ansi-66) <a href="/wiki/Compiler" title="Compiler">compiler</a>. FORTRAN-IV was not supported on PDP-11 systems with less than 12K of memory. DOS-11 systems running in 8K and 12K configurations ran a limited version of the <a href="/wiki/MACRO-11" title="MACRO-11">MACRO-11</a> Assembler (<a href="/wiki/PAL-11" class="mw-redirect" title="PAL-11">PAL-11</a>R in overlaid form). </p><p>The DOS-11 <a href="/wiki/Operating_system" title="Operating system">operating system</a> kernel was one file called MONLIB.LCL. The LCL extension was the acronym for LInked Core Image Library (or LICIL). An LICIL could be stored on any type of media that the DOS-11 <a href="/wiki/Operating_system" title="Operating system">operating system</a> was distributed on (disk, <a href="/wiki/DECtape" title="DECtape">DECtape</a>, <a href="/wiki/Punched_tape" title="Punched tape">punched tape</a> or <a href="/wiki/Magnetic_tape" title="Magnetic tape">magnetic tape</a>). When the LICIL file was installed (Hooked) onto a disk drive as a contiguous file, the monitor library name is changed to MONLIBCIL which could then be booted. The CIL extension was the acronym for Core Image Library. Core, was the term for the <a href="/wiki/Core_memory" class="mw-redirect" title="Core memory">core memory</a> systems common to the PDP-11. A Core Image Library could be created with the CILUS (Core Image Library Update and Save) program. A MONLIBCIL typically contained the <a href="/wiki/Resident_monitor" title="Resident monitor">resident monitor</a> (RMON), the keyboard command routine, device drivers, EMT routines, the clock routines and the transient monitor. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Legacy">Legacy</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=DEC_BATCH-11/DOS-11&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Legacy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>DOS-11 was used to compile and install early versions of the <a href="/wiki/RSTS/E" title="RSTS/E">RSTS-11</a> and <a href="/wiki/RSTS/E" title="RSTS/E">RSTS/E</a> <a href="/wiki/Operating_system" title="Operating system">operating systems</a> however it is an ancestor to the <a href="/wiki/RSX-11" title="RSX-11">RSX-11</a> family of <a href="/wiki/Operating_system" title="Operating system">operating systems</a>.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
