Phil has managed to get SimH to +simulate enough of the Graphics-2 device to use it as a second console. +We have removed all the #ifdefs from the code. + +Warren has been working on an alternative version which sees the +system advance by about a year to when it has . and .. directory +entries, no dd entry, plus things like mkdir. To build this, do make alt, +make altrun. The src/alt area is used to hold the "alternative" code. + +Essentially, it all works now except a few minor glitches. We now need +to get as up and running fully, get ed rescanned and working. Eventually +it would be good to have a working roff; but someone is going to have +to write it from scratch.
