Thanks Phil. Yes, the work by Doug and you was what I had in mind.
My favorite portable display layer would be wxWidgets; that?s the one I use for my Cyber
emulator work. I?ve seen mention of the one in SDL. It seems to be more game-oriented,
at least judging by some of the discussion.

Doug Gwyn made MAJOR contributions to the VT11/VS60 simulation.
It also has "Type 30" support for the PDP-1.
I started (but never finished) "Type 340" support.
Someone was looking at (re)integrating it with modern SIMH. I'd
encourage anyone who works on this to use some modern display layer
(e.g. SDL), rather than the primative adaptation layer(s) I wrote. I thought that had been done. I distinctly
remember a graphics device
emulation that implemented persistence, something I have since applied in
another place (Cyber console emulation). I forgot the author???s name,
but I thought it was for SIMH and specifically GT40 emulation.
I too thought SIMH had it. And E11 certainly does (in all versions except
Linux -- WLINK still can't do ELF dynlinks, last I checked). Obviously, the
lunar lander is the "killer app" for the VT11.
