I tried running Zemu in RT11 v5.3 in SIMH.
It starts and asks for a game file. I entered ZORK1.DAT (from a zork1.zip
I once downloaded). The ZORK1.DAT is 180 blocks.
Zemu aborts after some 10 [ZALLOC] messages:
[ZALLOC]: Insufficient memory]
We didn't get memory for dynamic data. Aborting...
[Entered ZEXIT]
[INPEND: timer cancelled]
and then I am back at the RT-11 dot prompt.
Next I tried ".VBGEXE ZEMU".
After a [ZINIT], three [ZALLOC] and one more [ZINIT] line, Zemu prints
"ZEMU/RT X00.19"
but then I return to the RT-11 prompt!
The last attempt was starting VBGEXE.SAV without a program on the startline.
VBGEXE asks for a program, and I entered ZEMU.SAV.
Now soem 20+ [ZALLOC] lines are printed, the last lines are the following:
[GETSLN: returning 24. lines]
[GETSCL: returning 80. columns]
[GETSTP: returning terminal type 3.]
[PUTTXT: Address = 066736, count = 14. characters]
<[?7l<[2J,=<[r
?MON-F-Trap to 4 101566
.
So, it is getting further. The "<" is actually a small arrow.
I guess these are control sequences for a VTxxx terminal? Or NNANSI.SYS stuff,
as the zork1.zip file contained a zork1.dat, an .exe and a
Nnansi.com file
(thus PC stuff).
Perhaps this ZORK.DAT file is not correct ...?
Or does the ZEMU.SAV need somethignfrom the RT-11 environment? Zane has
build Zemu in RT-11 V5.7, and my version is 5.3 ...

Onderwerp: RE: Zemu
OK, here are my quick and dirty results from RT-11 5.7...
?LINK-W-Undefined globals:
$SAVVR
PICDAT
ERPIC
PICTBL
DRWPIC
INTVER
.SAVR1
GAMINI
I've added these to the end of ZRT.MAC with the other three undefined routines.
The resulting file runs on both 5.7 and 5.4, but I can't figure out
where my infocom data files are (which probably says something about
how badly I need to backup my PDP-11). It's to late at night now to
be booting the PDP-11 up to get them. (Henk, I'll email you the
binary tonight.)
