[Simh] Moved my vaxuser to new standalone system and ...

[James W. Laferriere]

 	Hello All ,  I moved my simh (ie: vaxuser) to a standalone system at my 
home (info below) and now simh fails with "File open error..." ,  Not 
understanding why this is the case .  I've recompiled all the necessary 
components (that I am aware of) ,  and then recompiled SIMH .

 	Would someone please point a finger at what I might be doing wrong 
and/or request of me more info with the necessary commands to do so .

 		Tia ,  JimL
