If you're using git, "git clone" is what you do to

In any case, cloning produces a working directory with the contents of the repo you just
cloned. It DOES NOT produce a zip file. You can fetch a zip file (also referred to as a
"git archive") of the latest code (without any git plumbing) from
https://github.com/simh/simh/archive/master.zip You can then expand this zip and build.
Either approach works, but they DO NOT mix.
I explained the above since you do not appear to have picked up the latest code, which
has a commit id of 318b0e32. You are working on a Linux system which has case
sensitive file names, so
there is a distinct difference between vmst and VMST.
This command is
missing the device name TQ as well...
The simh commands and many of their arguments
(ansi-vms and -f) are case
insensitive, but filenames are whatever the host system supports.
In the latest commit, I've enriched the error messages issued when
unrecognized arguments/files are presented to a tape attach.

OK I went to git and downloaded using the "clone" button the
latest zip file. ...
Ok I went to the link above and downloaded that simh-master.zip The
commit id is the same. There were also quite a few invisible directories
and files. A couple of files or so and a directory called "Travis" and
".git" directories too. I guess it is ok to remove these invisible files
and directories? Is this the "plumbing" you meant? And the nvram code I
use is the "Ka655x.bin" I should mention that too.
