SIMH and Shortcuts

• To get text file into PDP-8 make it have CR/LF line ending and attach as ptr. Need high speed ptr driver in OS/8.
• sim>att ptr file
• sim>c
• .R PIP
• *FILE<PTR:/I
• Can reverse to get file out. Some text has 8th bit set you need to remove and junk at end.
• SIMH allows breakpoints and show cpu history shows previous execution which allows easier debugging on PC. ODT on real PDP-8 can do breakpoints.
• Palbart is C PAL assembler.
• Flx8 and putr can work with some images.
