c393675b5b REMOTE_CONSOLE: Allow user selectable command output buffer size
The output of remote console commands gets truncated at the configured
buffer size.  The default has been raised from 1400 to 8192.
Common remote console usage is from the same host as the simulator and
as such localhost TCP traffic is delivered in chunks at least 8192 so no extra
packets will be involved in transporting the potential extra data and no
transmission delays on the send() call.
The minumum size is now 1400 (which was the prior default).

ff95fb8ec2 SCP: Add warning about reset when RUN command is used multiple times.
The RUN command implicitly resets all devices which may have unexpected
consequences for a novice user.

The logic now produces a warning about this side effect when more than one
RUN command is executed in the same simulator session.

An explicit RESET command suppresses this warning for a subsequent RUN
command.

A RUN command with the -Q switch also suppresses this warning.

c55b6a8a8b makefile: Document supported build requirements and allow unsupported builds
Users wanting to build simulators with locally build dependent packages or
packages provided by an unsupported package management system can
override where this procedure looks for include files and/or libraries.

Overrides can be specified by define exported environment variables or
GNU make command line arguments which specify INCLUDES and/or LIBRARIES.
Each of these, if specified, must be the complete list include directories
or library directories that should be used with each element separated by
colons. (i.e. INCLUDES=/usr/include/:/usr/local/include/:...)

Binaries built with unsupported library components will have a 'unsupported' tag
in the output of the SHOW VERSION command.

e27e396c30 TAPES: Attempt to validate the record structure of TPC formatted tapes when they are attached.
Stubs to validate SIMH and E11 format tapes as well.
Once all validation routines are available, logic to auto detect tape format will be implemented.

80289e1e3b Enhanced Remote Console support to allow two separate command processing modes.
1) Single Command Mode:  commands are processed between simulated instructions once CR is received.
 2) Multiple Command Mode: commands are initiated with the WRU character (usually *E) which suspends simulation execution and commands are processed until a CONTINUE command is entered (or automatically provided if the SET REMOTE TIMEOUT=seconds interval has elapsed).
