26aa6de663 Notes For V3.2-0 
RESTRICTION: The PDP-15 FPP is only partially debugged.  Do NOT
enable this feature for normal operations.

WARNING: The core simulator files (scp.c, sim_*.c) have been
reorganized.  Unzip V3.2-0 to an empty directory before attempting
to compile the source.

IMPORTANT: If you are compiling for UNIX, please read the notes
for Ethernet very carefully.  You may need to download a new
version of the pcap library, or make changes to the makefile,
to get Ethernet support to work.

5. General Notes

WARNING: The RESTORE command has changed.  RESTORE will now
detach an attached file on a unit, if that unit did not have
an attached file in the saved configuration.  This is required
to assure that the unit flags and the file state are consistent.

WARNING: The compilation scheme for the PDP-10, PDP-11, and VAX
has changed.  Use one of the supplied build files, or read the
documentation carefully, before compiling any of these simulators.
