I believe that Cutler went from DOS-11 to the RSX-11 group, and had nothing to
do with RT-11 or RSTS.
RSX-11 was of course a port from the PDP-15 (RSX-15), and went through 5
generations (RSX-11A, -11B, -11C, -11D, and IAS, which incorporated a number of
features from RSTS). Cutler wanted a smaller operating system, so created
RSX-11M and RSX-11S (which was a runtime only system whose programs had tob e
handled by -11M).
RSX-11M is what informed early VMS, and thus Windows NT.
