SIMH = Bob Supnik http://simh.trailing-edge.com/
E11 = John Wilson http://www.dbit.com

I'm not sure E11 will work under Win2k, especially if it's an older
version, I've heard that it won't.

This doesn't sound right, I'd recommend getting a copy of the latest
release. It sounds to me as if you might have gotten an infected copy of
E11 from somewhere.

This looks right, but it isn't working for you. Like I said, try a new
version.
