.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a comprehensive suite of simulators for a number of legacy computer systems.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that there is no actual
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command; each simulator is invoked with its own command.
|
|
Currently, the
|
|
available commands are:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Sy altair ,
|
|
.Sy altairz80 ,
|
|
.Sy gri ,
|
|

|
|
.Sy ibm1130 ,

|

|
|
.Sy pdp15 ,
|
|
.Sy pdp4 ,
|
|
.Sy pdp7 ,
|
|
.Sy pdp8 ,
|
|
.Sy pdp9 ,
|

.Sy s3 ,

|
|

|

The following options are available for all of the commands:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl e
|
|
Processing of
|
|
.Ar startup-file
|
|
(including nested command invocations) is aborted if
|
|
a command error is encountered.
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Certain informational messages are suppressed.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
The commands in
|
|
.Ar startup-file
|
|
are echoed before they are executed.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar startup-file
|
|
is specified, it is used as an initial source of simulator commands.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar startup-file
|
|
is not specified,
|
|
the simulator looks for a startup file consisting of the simulator
|
|
name (including its path components) plus the extension
|
|
.Pa .ini .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a startup file is specified, either on the
|
|
command line or implicitly via the
|
|
.Pa .ini
|
|
capability, it should contain a series of non-interactive simulator
|
|
commands, one per line.
|
|
These commands can be used to set up standard parameters, for example disk
|
|
sizes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After initializing its internal structures and processing the startup file (if any),
|
|
the simulator types out its name and version and then prompts for input with:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Sy sim>
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
Documentation is available for each of the simulators. There is
|
|
also generic simulator documentation. It can be found locally in
|
|
.Pa %%DOCSDIR%%
|
|
(if installed), and also at
|
|
.Pa http://simh.trailing-edge.com/pdf/all_docs.html .
