PDP10-TOOLS PDP10-TOOLS
=========== ===========
pdp10-tools is a collection of utilities for pdp10-elf. pdp10-tools is a collection of utilities for pdp10-elf:
elf2boot: converts PDP-10 ELF-36 and ELF-64 executables to KLH10-bootable files
libelf: reading and writing ELF-32, ELF-36, and ELF-64 object files
sim: a simulator for running PDP-10 ELF-36 executables on a
hypothetical fully-extended PDP10 called the KE10
stdio9: reading and writing nonet-based files on an octet-based host
The following components were developed for the PDP-10 ELF-36 project
and are now deprecated given the PDP-10 ELF-64 support in GNU binutils:
ar: archiver for pdp10-elf object files ar: archiver for pdp10-elf object files
archive: reading and writing archives containing pdp10-elf object files

ld: linker for pdp10-elf object files ld: linker for pdp10-elf object files

Support libraries include:
archive: reading and writing archives containing pdp10-elf object files
pdp10_elf36: reading and writing pdp10-elf (aka Elf36) object files
pdp10_stdio: reading and writing nonet-based files on an octet-based host
