PLUS, the commands used by each emulator are distinctly

I'm not
sure E11 will work under Win2k, especially if it's an older
version, I've heard that it won't.

further confirmation on this... Thanks

I think I remember using E11 under Win2k, but I am not sure.
There are certain problems since E11 is designed for DOS.
However, I have run E11 under Windows 98 SE and Windows 95.
Both seem to work well and have the added advantage of using
the cache support which I don't think that DOS provides
automatically.
In addition, E11 is MUCH faster. I have run both E11 (Ersatz-11)
and SIMH on a 750 MHz Pentium III. E11 seems to be about
15 times faster than a real PDP-11/93. Depending on the compiler
used, SIMH seems to be about 2 times as fast as a real PDP-11/93.
This
doesn't sound right, I'd recommend getting a copy of the latest
release. It sounds to me as if you might have gotten an infected copy of
E11 from somewhere.
I downloaded what was listed as the latest rev... right from
Dbit.
Your system could also be infected. I have not experienced
any problems similar to those that you mention.
P'raps I should try the Other One... anyone here
using it on W2K?
As I stated above, I think I tried. But there will be some restrictions
even if it works. With the same AGP video card, I can use 132
character lines with Windows 98 SE, but NOT with either WME
or WXP.
For those of you who know, I focus on running RT-11.
But no one else seems to care about fixing bugs in RT-11
let alone making enhancements. I hope by the end of 2003
to make V5.03 Y2K compliant, possibly even Y10K
compliant. Anyone interested? Y10K compliant will
required some agreements among RT-11 users, so I
hope that this post can start that public discussion!
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
