OT: Prebuilt RT-11 non split I&D copy of ZEMU (for RSTS)

I don't know what IND is. IND is what runs those pesky .CMD files under RSX. Could you give some more background about what ZEMU is and what you're trying to do? Also, what version of RSTS? ZEMU is a Z-machine emulator, which can play pretty much any V1 to V8 Z-machine game. The Z-machine was the abstract machine developed by Infocom, on which all their games ran. ZEMU does not do sound or graphics, so those games can be ruled out. You can find ZEMU at ftp://ftp.update.uu.se/pub/pdp11/zemu.tar. The code is written to be able to easily get to run under any PDP-11 OS. When I did this, Megan Gentry helped me with the RT-11 version, and she also wrote the build script. Anyone can test ZEMU on MIM::. Almost all Infocom games are also available on MIM (see ZEM /LI), and some Z-machine games from the internet is also there.

That said, you will not be able to run the RSX version under RSTS/E. You might have more luck with the RT-11 version, but that is also doubtful. I never did find anyone willing and able to do the RSTS/E port. Maybe now is the time? :-) Can anyone help me out with a prebuilt binary for RT-11 without split I&D, or offer expertise on an RSTS build? See above.
