[Simh] How to access RT11/FIles11 floppy images on Windows?

[Tim Stark]

John,

Ok, I tried to open it by using WinRAR but it did not work.  I was able unpack them by using MSYS commands.

I now found out that package was already unzipped.  I tried to open unzipped tar file and it now worked with WinRAR.

Ok, I will go ahead to install them on OS X 10.12 Sierra.

Thanks,
Tim

Tim,

Thanks for your note and sorry you're experiencing difficulty.  Could you provide more details of how you downloaded, what you used to decompress, and what versions of software and OS?  I'm using both OS X 10.6 and 10.12 with Firefox and am not experiencing problems.  For your reference, the archive was created with bsdtar 2.6.2 and gzip 1.6.

Thanks,

John
