I did download those. But I linked with the pre made single precision
package. Reading the manual more carefully reveal that there is not  the
complete FPMP-11 package in those pre made object files. So one have to
assemble ones own version by specifying exactly which modules to include in
a short file and then feed the six source file into PAL11-S. And voila a
tailor made version of FPMP-11 made for SPACE WAR is produced.

I then fed this object into LINK11-S followed by the 19 object files of
SPACE WAR. Finishing with the POINT module. And after doing this twice I
was greeted by a MODULE MAP and a 7323 byte absolute binary file!

Starting SPACE WAR (after loading the IOX-11 library) then gave this

HALT instruction, PC: 000042 (BIC R4,SP)

So it does run! I would guess that the lack of proper AD01 and AA11
hardware in SimH is the reason for the HALT, but it remain to be
investigated!

Next step is to adapt the code to the AR11 hardware in place for AD01 and
AA11.
