[HECnet] SimH, Ultrix and DECnet

That's a UNIX tradition I think, lot of UNIXs I have used (IRIX, Solaris, NetBSD to name a few) return the 'preposterous value in Time if Day clock' or similar error if the date wrong. I think it's triggered if the system date is prior to the kernel's date :) -- Mark Benson http://markbenson.org/blog http://twitter.com/MDBenson On 28 Jun 2012, at 10:53, Mark Wickens <mark at wickensonline.co.uk> wrote: On 28/06/12 10:31, Tony Blews wrote: Hi. Has anyone had any success emulating Ultrix with DECnet under SimH? I managed to find a copy of 4.0, and the "tape" claimed that it was installing DECnet, but I couldn't find any evidence of it anywhere on the system. I may just be being stupid (this is not unknown). An aside: You've got to love an OS that gives you error messages containing the word "preposterous"! Tony. That would be reporting the TOY clock setting then? -- http://www.wickensonline.co.uk http://declegacy.org.uk
