Yes, Billy Yodelman's BBS (running on top of TSX-11) is a very nice system,
with lots of software available.  We worked for about a week to transfer
most of the files on his system to the anonymous ftp site sunsite.unc.edu.
The DECUS tapes ended up in the directory

pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-11/rt/decus

and the miscellaneous stuff (including NBS Pascal) is in

pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-11/rt/billy.

In the transfer, I "unpacked" the RT-11 logical disks - i.e.
the files originally in the logical disk NBSPAS.DSK ended up in
a directory called nbspas_dsk.  I wrote some FORTRAN code to
aid in the unpacking process; it's nothing fancy, but if anyone
is interested in it, I'll e-mail a copy.  The FORTRAN code traversed all
the logical disks (including nested ones), unpacking files into
a directory tree.  The code has a lot of VMS-isms (in particular, it
LIB$SPAWNs copies of itself to traverse the directory tree), but
you could probably get it to work on a Unix machine.
