[Simh] Andy Hoffman's VMS 4.x packages

[Tim Shoppa]

I know that later versions of VAX-11 RSX support PDP-11 emulation
through software emulation of the PDP-11 commands. Even on VAX processors
that don't have PDP-11 hardware emulation.

This PDP-11 software emulation would presumably be missing in earlier
versions of VAX-11 RSX but I remember it being present circa 1986 on
Microvax II (KA630) hardware which would've been 1985/1986, the same era as
the 8200.
