understand that the Bob Supnick emulator - which is what Mentec
does not bother to name by name is what the Mentec license refers to.
Does anyone know if there is a version which runs under MS-DOS or
Windows 95/98? I realize that the Bob Supnick emulator is written in
"C" and normally runs under UNIX. Does that mean that it can't run
under MS-DOS, or is it just that no one has ever tried?
To the best of my
knowledge no one has tried (especially since E11
runs under DOS already). I'd love to see the Supnick emulators
under Windows (3.1 or 95) with a graphical front panel like the Doug
Jones PDP8 emulator under X11.
Imagine real toggle switches and 11/45 emulation running V7 or the RT11
RSTS/E or RSX light pattern (all different) showing up in real-time...
Any Visual C/Borland C types want to try it?
