Re: [TUHS] 8th Edition Research Unix on SIMH

Do you know who wrote the /sys/src/games/blit emulator? There's a piece of code in it that I had to comment out that I dont understand and I want to ask about it: } - write(3, rom, sizeof(rom)); + /* I dont know what this was for, but it spews garbage + * out telnet to the vax, causing it to hang. + */ + //write(3, rom, sizeof(rom)); } I'm not sure what fd 3 is intended to be, but its the telnet socket in p9p.

You just have to copy the /sys/lib/blit and /sys/src/games/blit directories to your system. With the v8.ini startup file provided, the console will be listening on port 8888/tcp once SIMH has been started. You have to run the emulator and connect to the console: % cd /sys/src/games/blit % mk install % games/blit -t tcp!hostname!8888 Once connected, enter your login and password. login: root Then, you can launch the mux window system: $ /usr/blit/bin/mux Once started, you can run any graphical program. Binaries are located in the /usr/blit/bin directory.
