that is easily packaged as a software kit for simh?

Hopefully Henk will jump in here, ZEMU is working on at least RT-11 V5.3
through V5.7. However, it needs to be built on V5.6 or V5.7 at this time.
I believe Henk has an RL02 disk image for SIMH available somewhere.
There are versions of Advent and Dungeon available for RT-11 and other OS's
running on SIMH, I'm not sure how easy they'll be to get into SIMH. I'm
guessing being able to run PUTR is a requirement for that.
This brings up another question. Does anyone have any method of getting
data into SIMH that doesn't require PUTR? As PUTR requires MS-DOS (though
it seems to work under WinXP), it's a bit of a problem.

PUTR is written in MACRO iirc, and is not portable.
Its stuck to MS-DOS, or those OS's that can emulate MS-DOS
to the hardware level.
I usually use kermit for RSTS/E and sometimes for VMS,
FTP for VMS and BSD. You have to be careful to set up
kermit parameters carefully, though, or it overflows buffers
and barfs.
I've also been known to use cut-and-paste on xterms for
small files, used tape images, and an unformatted simulated
tape drive a couple of times.

Seeing as how Bob Supnik is the author of SIMH *and* the guy responsible
for porting it to the PDP-11, it seems like his port is the place
to start :-).
ftp://ftp.trailing-edge.com/pub/rt11freewarev2/dsk/misc/advent.dsk
(and advsrc.dsk and dunsrc.dsk for the source!)
Comes handily packaged as (what else?) a disk image.

Yes. For now ...
The zemu-ve.zip on http://www.pdp-11.nl/auction/zemu-ve.zip
contains the latest zemu files, and the last update that Johnny did:
a working version of the $VE (VERIFY) command. After that, Johnny
has made one more change, but it is only in the VERIFY command.
This "zemu-ve.zip" is approx 319 kb and contains ZORK I, II, and III
(and of course ZEMU).
Use in SIMH the following additional commands:
set RL1 rl02
att RL1 zemu-ve.dsk
boot rl (assuming rl0 is RT11 boot "RL02").
.copy dl1:*.* sy:
My usage works fine in RT-11 XM, and using VBGEXE.
Excerpt of the console output:
.VBGEXE
program? ZEMU
ZEMU/RT X00.19
Game filename? ZORK1.DAT
West of House
...
[note: ".VBGEXE ZEMU" does *not* work for me!]
To run ADVENT, you simply in RT-11 do:
.VBGEXE ADVENT
WELCOME TO ADVENTURE!! WOULD YOU LIKE INSTRUCTIONS?
...
enjoy the games!
