[Simh] A new version...

[Philipp Hachtmann]

Hi again,

there's a new version of my Makefile:

That's a common mistake. You should simply use the "save as" command to
save an attached file or the URL in this posting.

I have changed my Makefile to work with all default names and locations.
You can simply put it into your simhv38 direrctory and use it.
If there's still the old makefile, you have to run make with
"-f Makefile".

There are new make targets: novaclean, pdp11clean...
They delete exactly the stuff needed to build the corresponding
simulator. So the common stuff as well. If you run a
"make novaclean nova" for example, it will be guaranteed that
the nova stuff is correctly and fully rebuilt :-)

Please try the link as I'm currently away from home.
