[Simh] Strange question

[Davis Johnson]

This aligns with my thinking. There may be some variation from simulator 
to simulator. Most are fairly conservative in what they do, system calls 
will mostly be in the area of intersection between Windows and POSIX.

Some may just run, some more may run with a recompile, more with minor 
adjustments. A few may have serious issues.

Most people are interested in one or a few simulators. If the simulator 
you are interested in works you are in luck.
