[Simh] Status of alpha simulator

[Zane Healy]

I was able to compile DECaxp, but I couldn’t figure out how to do anything with it.  I opted to go with the same Linux version as the author.  Has anyone managed to get it working?

Given the uncertain situation with being able to keep running OpenVMS on the VAX sim past 2021, I'm wondering why the alpha sim never got finished (some unsurmountable technical issue, or just lack of interest or dev time), and whether it would be achievable to get it running OpenVMS at some point in the future.
