RT-11 lifts the "only one output file" restriction of OS/8.  Otherwise correct.

In case anyone cares, I have the RT-11 format written up in a comment block
in this program:

	ftp://ftp.dbit.com/pub/putr/putr.asm

OS/8's file system is described there too...  N.B. all constants are octal
unless they end in "d" or "h".  The RT description is immediately after a
form feed character so you can just search for that if you don't like reading
80x86 assembly code.
