It works! I ran over to LSSM and copied those files to the 11/70,
and ran apl3.tsk. I didn't perform any exhaustive test, but it started
up and was able to run a simple program. (the one from the installation
manual)
I've not yet tried the APL charset mode, but in ASCII mode it works
fine. Later this week I hope to test the APL charset on a VT220.
Thanks Johnny, I appreciate your help!

Ok. Very minor work was needed. I actually fixed the
BRXAPL.CMD file to
generate more correct ODL files as well, since I had just handpatched
that as needed before.
Anyway, fetch MIM::DU:[APLX]. Just grab everything in there. But you
already have APL3.TSK in there built, which works. I just did a simple
test starting it and it seems to work fine.
But if needed, APL3.CMD and APL3.ODL are there, and you can play around.
You can obviously also recompile and modify just about anything else you
need.

Hey folks. This is a bit OT. I've been attempting to build APL-11
for a machine with neither FPP nor FIS, and have hit a wall. I get
multiple "Z" errors from the assembler, which is flagging instructions
whose behaviors differ between PDP-11 models.
Has anyone built this from source for something without FPP/FIS?
This is driving me nuts.
Thanks,
