The basic telnet to the console is a generic facility shared by all simulators so if there is a problem in one it will be in all. > > My simh.ini file is attached.

Well, before looking too closely for this, I tried with the latest source and it works as we expected. The prebuilt Windows binaries are only generated when I feel like something useful has changed. I was planning on generating new binaries later this week, but since this problem is fixed with the latest code, I built and pushed out a revised set just now. I'll leave finding exactly what was wrong (which has already been fixed) as an exercise for someone more interested than me. > As an aside, DMC11/DMR11 in RSTS/E still doesn't work; mentioning that > since my PDP-11 INI defines some DMR11s, which don't work in RSTS/E 10.1- > L. As for addressing this problem. Paul Koning provided me with a test case and the driver code which is raising the issue, but I haven't had time to dig into the specifics. - Mark _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
