[Simh] Building PDP-10 with Visual C++ 2005 Express

[Dell Setzer]

The references to _xu_dev, _dz_dev, etc. are devices from the pdp11 source 
tree. Just include those pdp11 source files which define those devices in 
your pdp10 project. The references to __imp_htonl at 4, etc. can be resolved 
by linking in the library "wsock32.lib" (the WinSock network library). The 
references to __imp_timeGetTime at 0, etc. can be resolved by linking in the 
library "winmm.lib" (the Windows multimedia library). Both of these 
libraries are provided with VC++. The reference to WinMain can be fixed by 
changing your project type to be "console application" (you may need to 
re-create the project to do this). I have built all of the SIMH emulators 
(including pdp10) under VC++ with good results.

Hope this helps,
...dell
