Jerome Fine replies:

My friend does mostly RT-11 and does not have any of the PC tools.
He says he did download the PDP11.EXE Supnick emulator for
W95 and he tried it. Other than the known lack of VT100 emulation,
he was very pleased.

Also, is there a DOC file?

Finally, he did attempt to figure out what was involved in getting the
sources. But, due to his lack of understanding of how the files are
packaged, he gave up. Plus, if the MS-DOS version is equally
lacking in VT100 support, he does not see much point in spending
the time to set up that version.

But at least the Supnick emulator executable for W95 that you have
packaged does run very nicely.

Sincerely yours,
