[Simh] Operating Systems with Sources

[Mark Emmer]

Sorry Al, but I've been pedal-to-the-metal for the past 15 months on 
another project and haven't been able to get back to the 940 timesharing 
system.  I think the last status I reported was that it was running in 
the original build configuration of mag tape and drum, with the ability 
to re-assemble, link and run a new O/S from source files.  File I/O to 
the drum worked, but the tape-based file system (including 
overwrite-in-place) is a disaster that I'm avoiding.  I can't even get 
it to recognize when I think is a properly labeled tape, and the new 
tape utility is absent.  Best hope is to get the Data Products or Bryant 
disk driver working and build a proper disk-based system.  
Unfortunately, the Oper utility to layout a disk with file directories 
and boot images is missing, so I'm going to have to cobble up something 
in C to replicate it.

I do intend to work on it again when programming becomes fun again.
