Philipp Hachtmann's Honeywell H316 development kit This package is made by Philipp Hachtmann (hachti@hachti.de) A fresh snapshot can always be found on http://h316.hachti.de How to use: =========== 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 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= export PATH=$PATH:$H316/bin - 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 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! 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 command "frtn ". Then you have a Honeywell Object. Now exec it by calling frun . There is also an asm command. Try it out and read the scripts in $H316/bin for enlightment! Libraries are built with some scripts contained in the appropriate subdirectories. There's a kind of receipe file for every library to build. Works fine, try it out! And don't forget to try out the ldc program. ldc | It's an object checker. A bit like nm on unix machines. 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, Philipp :-) ... make clean works, too.
