  I'm replying to the list in case anyone else is starting down this Road.

  I downloaded (12.2MB) MinGW and extracted it, all okay. But:

   Make a "bin" directory... where? I made one in the PDP11 folder, MinGW
has one in it's tree, but, as you said, executing the batch file makes a
lot of stuff happen, but no executable is in evidence. I located MinGW in
the simulations folder, and altered the 'path' statement in the batch file
to point to it... that much seems to work fine.

  Also, I rem'ed out all the other simulators in the batch file, leaving
just the path statement and the PDP11 simulator active.

  Now if I can just locate all these files I'm supposedly generating. ;}



  Well, I'm learning...


  TIA All...
