The new REG_DEPOSIT register flag bit indicates that updates to a
REGister with this flag specified will invoke the sim_vm_reg_update
routine after the data has been updated.
This avoids a potential invalid pointer dereference when formatting
the return value from sim_instr() if it is < SCPE_BASE but greater
than the previously defined static array size.sizeof
Update simh.doc to reflect this generic change.
The paradigm of using a "weak" linker reference to find what was
previously the vm_init_routine() doesn't work reliably on all compile
environments supported by the simulators. This has been reported
in #794 and it came up again in #862. This change assures that
it will not come up again AND it reliably solves the problem with
Visual Studio compilers (and linker) that randomly chooses whether
to have the desired effect or not.
Of the 82 simulators which are currently part of simh, only these
three used the sim_vm_init() interface, so removing it had relatively
minor impact.
This implements the principle of "least surprise", in that users won't
normally expect to start overwriting an existing file on these devices.
Real hardware didn't behave that way. A new (empty) file can always
be created with the -N switch on the ATTACH.

- Make all PDP11, VAX RP and RQ devices autosizing behave similarly
- Generalize the attach help to be specific to the device/system being
attached
- Remove the sim_disk_pdp10_* calls which weren't correct or needed
since sim_disk_attach_ex provides sector size which is used correctly
This affects the output of some SCP commands (including help). The
results are cosmetic, but allows the simulator to provide correct descriptive
information.
Added BASE option to auxcpu to move memory region.
Fix errors in Card Reader/Card Punch translation and operation.
Fixed problems with ITS quantum timer.
Added support for System Concepts DC10 disk controller (Lars).
Fixed errors in Line Printer control codes.
Added support for Lines per page to LP10.
Fixed issues with 7 track tapes on TM10.
Updated user guides
- Properly handle clock transitions when control flows back and forth
between instruction execution and simh commands.
- Changed Internal Timer from 10 Hz to the MAX(100Hz, HostOSClockHz)
- Changed default idle calibration percent to 50%
- Make sure that error cases (backwards and gap too big) properly advance
the real time while avoiding calibration.
- Fix selection of the calibrated clock.
- Fix logic that sets the idle percentage that controls calibration.
