2. Bugs Fixed
Please see the revision history on http://simh.trailing-edge.com or
in the source module sim_rev.h.
The source set has been extensively overhauled. For correct
viewing, set Visual C++ or Emacs to have tab stops every 4
characters.

RESTRICTION: The PDP-15 FPP is only partially debugged. Do NOT
enable this feature for normal operations.
WARNING: The core simulator files (scp.c, sim_*.c) have been
reorganized. Unzip V3.2-0 to an empty directory before attempting
to compile the source.
IMPORTANT: If you are compiling for UNIX, please read the notes
for Ethernet very carefully. You may need to download a new
version of the pcap library, or make changes to the makefile,
to get Ethernet support to work.
