I downloaded E11 some years ago on a Pent I desktop but never got it to
work, prolly due to no smarts on my part.
This evening, thinking it might be fun to hook up my M4 Data SCSI 9trker
to the laptop, and use it to work on Stuff to be transferred to the
11/44 later, I DL'ed the latest and greatest from his Site (V3.1), and
installed it. I am running Win 2000 on an IBM A21m Thinkpad, with 256M of
RAM and a 10GB HD.
Right away, my little Pest Control program flags me that 'ntvdm.exe' has
been detected, and as many times as I exterminate it, it returns as soon
as e11.exe is run.
Is this a bug, or something in E11 that looks like one? The details say
it is a VBB virus tutorial... if it *is* a virus, or virus-related
creepy-crawly, then there are much bigger problems afoot and I'll scrub
the whole thing.
At the E11> prompt in the DOS window, I type:
E11> set cpu 44
E11> mount du0: rsx11m
ERROR opening file - RSX11M.DSK
E11> mount du1: ra80
ERROR opening file - RA80.DSK
And so on... each iteration brings up the virus warning, and the disk
emulations seem to be AWOL.
So: any ideas? Obvious Stupidities? etc?
Cheers

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

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.

This looks right, but it isn't working for you. Like I said, try a new
version.

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

Bob Supnik does all of his development on Windows, so SIMH works just fine
there.
