For what it's worth I had no problems compiling the simulator as a 64 bit
executable on Linux, and so far I've had no trouble running it and issuing
some basic commands.

Is there some "getting started" documentation or the equivalent for MPX?
Coming from a UNIX background I found the training manual (
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/sel/sel32_mpx/training/Inside_the_MPX-32_Operating_System_Sep85.pdf
) to be somewhat less helpful that I expected, and the MPX 1.x reference
and technical manuals are extremely dense.
