This is approved working on my two Linux PCs.
You need a "normal" gcc and gnumake etc. bla bla.
-Bob Supnik's SIMH simulator must be installed.
+Bob Supnik's SIMH simulator must be installed and the
+h316 executable must be in the path.
SIMH from rev. 3.6 works fine.
Older versions have a severe bug, don't use them.
If you like SIMH consider compiling it with
libreadline support - see the SIMH makefile....
You get SIMH at http://simh.trailing.edge.com
+What to do:
- Extract the archive (You have already done that...)
- Set following environment variables:
export H316=<full path to the directory containing this file>
export PATH=$PATH:$H316/bin
- And you need to have the SIMH h316 binary in your $PATH.
- Enter the $H316 directory and run make.
- If there's no error you can start to look around in the tree.
Everything is fine and ready to use.
If there's an error try to correct it or feel free to ask me.
All libraries are built when you run make. Precompiled (original)
-stuff is only found in directories called "original" or "obj".
-Everything else is always rebuilt.
+stuff is found in directories called "original" or "obj".
+Most other stuff is rebuilt by a make run.
The IO library works with my private line printer interface.
So don't get frustrated when you try the routines in SIMH - they
-won't work as expected.
+**won't** work!
If you have some original library routines from Honeywell - please
let me know! I am looking for tape drivers, the original line
printer driver etc.
If you have set up everything look for the mandelbrot program.
It's somewhere out there....
-Try to compile it with the genious command "frtn <source-file>".
+Try to compile it with the command "frtn <source-file>".
Then you have a Honeywell Object. Now exec it by calling
frun <object-file>. There is also an asm command.
Try it out and read the scripts in $H316/bin for enlightment!
If you have unknown or unchecked library or
object tapes - you will LOVE it!!!
+An important hint: There's a PAL-AP replacement flying around here.
+It's called binal. The super3.slst contains binal, not PAL-AP.
+Binal stores information in binary code, no silent code.
+It also ONLY supports the PTR and PTP devices, no ASR booting!

So, if there are questions, please ask me.
Best regards,
