Back when Bob was at DEC, the understanding was that this covered SIMH, and
a commercial Emulator that DEC sold. If anyone knows/remembers what this
commercial emulator is/was, I'd really appreciate knowing, as I'd like to
put the info up on my PDP-11 Emulation webpage. All I can remember is it
was some outragously expensive price that no hobbyist could hope to afford.
