[Simh] vector images

[Kevin Handy]

Yes, they are there, in a file called "setup.msi", and nowhere else.
So, as long as you ahve a windows machine that you don;t care if it
installs older file on top of newer ones,  I had to re-install too many
windows systems because of this, and finding all of the right install
pckges, and figuring out the proprt order to reinstall them to get a
working system was always a pain. msi is the old install format that
comonly had this problem.
However, I think I have come up with a painful, roundabout way to extract
the files, maybe. If not, I was just curious about its memory mapped video,
ans if the flexwriter emulation was useful enough to bother with. If this
doesn't work, I'll just have to give up on it.
