PDP11GUI is at v1.46 now.
Among others I fixed an annoying bug, which prevented proper terminal
output when running certain diagnostic paper tapes:
Filling <NUL> chars were sometimes interpreted as backspace!

Hi,
I can't reply directly to your private email address: everything I write
is filtered as spam. So let's be public:
Thank you for your beautiful work on PDP11GUI.
Would it be possible to make either a .pdf or a .zip of all the
.html files of the instruction, tutorial, and other PDP11GUI related
pages from your website? I'm concerned that it could be many years
before I find the time to work with PDP11GUI, and that your website
might be no longer available at that time.
Don't worry, retrocmp.com will

If it ran on something, anything other than Windows?.

Yeah. That's my problem too... 100% UNIX/Linux here...
I guess there's WINE?

Joerg didn't *have* to make it available to us on any platform, remember?
This seems like a good time to plug cross-platform common UI frameworks. There are
several: wxWidgets is a particularly good one in my experience. I?ll take it over the
native Unix ones any day, in fact, even without the cross-platform angle.

All true. However, in which way is Windows on a virtual machine any different than on a
physical machine? It's just as much windows in either case.
Just saying...

On the one hand, that's kind of my point - it should work just as well.
On the other, perhaps limiting the "contagion" to a VM, or not having to
add a machine to run it, is a win. Or gets people to focus on the fact
that Joerg shared something nice, even if it requires something that isn't.
It's probably all just reflexive whinging about MSFT, and I shouldn't
have bothered wasting everybody's bandwidth on a response. Let alone two.
Oh well.

No, I am grateful to J?rg for his work and his willingness to share it with
us. But I actually bought (cheap used) box to run Win7, for those rare
occasions when I want/need to run something that only runs on Windows.
It's always been a pain, especially since every time I fire it up it wants
to spend a half-hour or more fixing things they didn't code right the first
time. WinXP was pretty much the pinnacle of Windows development IMHO, and
it's been a fast toboggan ride into the sewer ever since.
But I'd forgotten about Wine - I usually run Mac OS X these days unless I'm
running something 'interesting'. (I've been playing with Plan 9 again
lately, and of course VMS.) Maybe that Win7 machine will get converted to
some Linux flavor?. -- Ian

I mentioned it because there are some applications (Artemis) that have

It's not my first choice, but I'd rather do that than deal with the alternative.

Hm, apparently there's a way to install Wine on a Mac! Of course, it
requires an Intel processor (monoculture is bad) but they all have that
now. Installation is running?.

There's also a handy tool called WineBottler which transmogrifies Wine-compatible
Windows programs into stand-alone Mac applications:
http://winebottler.kronenberg.org
I have not tried it with PDP11GUI, but there's a good chance that it'll work if
PDP11GUI can run under Wine.

You might find this of interest:
https://www.codeweavers.com/
It's a commercial native-Aqua port of WINE for OS X. Run Windows apps
on the Mac desktop without Windows installed or the need for a Windows
licence.

Hello J?rg,
I'm having a lot of trouble with pdp11gui 1.46. My goal is to transfer
an RD53 image from simh to a physical PDP-11/73 with an RQDX3
controller.
Whenever I attempt to run MACRO11 or to load the MSCP driver, I
receive the error message:
"E/A Fehler - 103"
I don't know what's going on. I assume this means that it can't find
the MACRO11 binary to compile the driver, but it is located in the
pdp11gui directory. I even made sure to add this directory to my PATH,
just in case that was needed, but it does not seem to have helped.
Am I doing something wrong?
Best Wishes,
-Seth

One person's experience:
I trashed my Mac's OS X install by trying to go the Homebrew route for
WINE. After restoring it, I tried WineBottler, which contains a compiled
version of WINE - it works fine, and I now have the UI running. Now to
configure things?. I'm looking forward to playing with this. Thanks,
J?rg! -- Ian
