[Simh] Ethernet Windows binaries for 3.9?

[Mark Pizzolato - Info Comm]

Hi Paul,

Sorry I dropped the ball on this.

I have verified that the simh v3.9-0 binaries you refer to indeed won't run on XP.  I'm not sure why.  They were built using the MinGW GCC compiler.  They run fine on Windows 7, Vista and Windows 8. There have been 85 downloads of those binaries so they've probably been useful to some.

I've built new simh v3.9-0 binaries with Visual Studio from the same source code.  These run on XP.

I've finally got round to trying the 3.9-0 VAX SIMH, and VAX.EXE crashes immediately (0C5 on address 0x077c3554a) on starting emulation (BOOT CPU), even if I don't use any INI file and just start an empty machine.  This is on Windows XP. I have Winpcap 4.1.2, and reverting VAX.exe to the 3.7.3 version boots and runs OK. Has anyone else succeeded in running the VAX SIMH from the github link below?

Hi Paul,

Simh V3.9-0 windows binaries which will work with or without network support (depending on whether WinPcap is installed) can be downloaded from:

https://github.com/downloads/simh/simh/simhv39-0-Win32Binaries.zip

I've been using 3.7.x for a while, and thought I should upgrade to 3.9, particularly in order to get network loopback from SIMH client (VAX) to host (Windows XP). I'm confused as to whether I can use the windows binaries on trailing-edge.com - in the past I think I had to explicitly acquire binaries with Ethernet support (I have WinPCap).

It says:
>> Download a zip file containing Windows executables for all the SIMH simulators.  The VAX and PDP-11 are compiled without Ethernet support.

So, where do I find binaries with Ethernet support for 3.9?

Regards,
