The attached pdp11_exp.ini should work, and be simpler to understand. I don’t have a V7 RSTS to test with and the V10 stuff I’ve got to test doesn’t prompt for the time of day, but seems to automatically detect the correct date and time. Leaving the EXPECT commands to answer these questions in the script doesn’t hurt.
When using EXPECT commands, you have to PRECISELY specify what is being matched. There is a difference between “<Yes>” and “<YES> “. - Mark From: Simh [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bryan Davies Sent: Monday, January 22, 2018 11:04 AM To: Paul Koning <[email protected]>; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Simh] PDP11 on Simh for public access Thanks Paul. Here is the .ini file and a copy of what I see on screen. I have left my previous attempts at using EXPECT/SEND in place but commented out.

Could you send me the SIMH configuration and the actual output from your test run? paul
