The PDP-8/I Emulator									1992 07 05 Quics

0.028
-----

This is the first public QNX version.  It includes basic functionality,
and allows the user to supply a PDP-8 program in a file.  The file format
consists of text lines, with two octal numbers, separated by whitespace.
For example, the sample program "prog.1" contains:

		0000 7001
		0001 5000

This is a program that at location 0 contains the octal 7001 instruction
(increment accumulator), and at location 1 contains the octal instruction
5000 (JMP 0000).

More complex programs are left as an exercise for the reader :-)

To run a program:

	core NAMEOFPROGRAM

Terminate execution by Ctrl-break.

I have not implemented the IOT instruction, nor the EAE instructions.  These
can be implemented by the user.  (If you do implement them, send me email
and I'll be happy to incorporate them.)

PDP-8 program sources are also welcome!

Note:  The "bm" program refered to in the makefile is available on Quics.
It can be commented out.  It is responsible for incrementing the version
number, and adding revision comments to a revision log file.
