Dave,
I just found the FP Emulator that I remember using by Glenn Everhart. The latest
version of it is on RSX83A:[312,315]FPEM.MAC
It does exist as a separate task and gets built thus:
; >MAC FPEM=[1,1]EXEMC.MLB/ML,[200,200]RSXMC,[10,10]FPEM
; >
;
; TASK BUILD:
; >RUN $BIGTKB
; .
; .
; TKB>FPEM/-FP/-CP/PR=FPEM,[1,54]RSX11M.STB
; TKB>//
Read the source and there is also an earlier version on RSX82B:[312,315] but I haven’t
looked at the differences yet.
Good Luck,
Mark

I’ve been looking at the FPP emulator a bit
more and the [300,21]FPPEMULAT.MAC doesn’t match what I remembered using. I’m going to do
a more thorough look through the DECUS files to see what else is there. My recollection
was that we installed and fixed a privileged task into memory during boot up and then it
was like you had an FPP.
Oh, wow, that would be perfect in this case.
On the big 1.5 GB DECUS disk that had the
original APL sources, there is another version of the FPP emulator [6,2]FPPEM.MAC that is
longer than the RXS86B:[300,21]FPPEMULAT.MAC file that is more likely what I used on the
11/44 with out FPP.
I’ll keep looking for a FPP emulator that seems more like what I used in the past.
Thanks! I appreciate your help. I have to run over to the museum now for a tour (not
the APL guy, someone else) but will be back online later.
