NAME
       simh -- Simulation suite	for various computer systems

SYNOPSIS
       simh [-e] [-q] [-v] [startup-file [arguments]]

DESCRIPTION
       simh is a comprehensive suite of	simulators for a number	of legacy com-
       puter systems.

       Note  that  there  is no	actual simh command; each simulator is invoked
       with its	own command.  Currently, the available commands	are:

	     altair, altairz80,	gri, h316, hp2100, i1401, i1620, i7094,
	     ibm1130, id16, id32, lgp, nova, pdp1, pdp10, pdp11, pdp15,	pdp4,
	     pdp7, pdp8, pdp9, s3, sds,	simh-eclipse, swtp6800mp-a,
	     swtp6800mp-a2, vax, vax780.

       The following options are available for all of the commands:

       -e      Processing of startup-file (including  nested  command  invoca-
	       tions) is aborted if a command error is encountered.

       -q      Certain informational messages are suppressed.

       -v      The  commands  in  startup-file are echoed before they are exe-
	       cuted.

       If startup-file is specified, it	is used	as an initial source of	 simu-
       lator  commands.	 If startup-file is not	specified, the simulator looks
       for a startup file consisting of	the simulator name (including its path
       components) plus	the extension .ini.

       If a startup file is specified, either on the command line  or  implic-
       itly  via the .ini capability, it should	contain	a series of non-inter-
       active simulator	commands, one per line.	 These commands	can be used to
       set up standard parameters, for example disk sizes.

       After initializing its internal structures and processing  the  startup
       file  (if  any),	 the simulator types out its name and version and then
       prompts for input with:

	     sim>

EXIT STATUS
       simh exits 0 on success,	and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO
       Documentation is	available for each of the simulators.  There  is  also
       generic	 simulator   documentation.   It   can	be  found  locally  in
       /usr/local/share/doc/simh    (if	   installed),	   and	   also	    at
       http://simh.trailing-edge.com/pdf/all_docs.html.
