[Simh] Cannot Restore Simulator State

[Dell Setzer]

I don't know about the save/load problem (I haven't tried it), but I think 
the "32b data/address" business refers to compiler settings (and thus the 
sizes of fields in the saved state), not necessarially the actual size of 
data and addresses in the emulated hardware.

I'm an old DG hand -- I cut my teeth on Nova 2's about 100 years ago. So 
I've really enjoyed being able to boot up RDOS on my laptop!
