Re: [Simh] Cygwin and SIMH

2010-02-07 Thread Paul Hardy 2
I don't do any compiling, but I run the standard SIMH executable with the VAX emulation under Cygwin, with pcap networking, and it works fine, right down to being able to run DECWindows/Motif using the Cygwin X-windows subsystem, so my Windows laptop looks like a VAXStation! Is that what you me

[Simh] Ethernet Windows binaries for 3.9?

2012-09-01 Thread Paul Hardy 2
I've been using 3.7.x for a while, and thought I should upgrade to 3.9, particularly in order to get network loopback from SIMH client (VAX) to host (Windows XP). I'm confused as to whether I can use the windows binaries on trailing-edge.com - in the past I think I had to explicitly acquire binarie

[Simh] 8-bit pseudocolor on modern Windows PC?

As a hobbyist, I successfully run VMS on a Simh emulated VAX (actually on a Raspberry Pi, but that’s irrelevant). I’m doing some software archeology trying to preserve some historic software which produced maps and charts on VAXstations and AlphaStations. This used 8-bit pseudocolor graphics, m

[Simh] SimH on Raspberry Pi - out of date?

2016-03-19 Thread Paul Hardy 2
I've been running some VAX emulations on PC and on Raspberry Pi, and I note that the version of SimH that you get with Rapbian is a rather elderly 3.8-1. What are the plans to get 4.0 be something other than Beta, which is presumably a prerequisite for it being pulled as a supported package on Rasp
