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 computer
     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  invocations)
	     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 executed.

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

     If a startup file is specified, either on the command  line  or  implicitly
     via the .ini capability, it should contain a series of non-interactive sim-
     ulator  commands, one per line.  These commands can be used to set up stan-
     dard 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.
