59aa4a73b1 Notes For V3.8
The makefile now works for Linux and most Unix's. Howevr, for Solaris
and MacOS, you must first export the OSTYPE environment variable:

> export OSTYPE
> make

Otherwise, you will get build errors.

1. New Features

1.1 3.8-0

1.1.1 SCP and Libraries

- BREAK, NOBREAK, and SHOW BREAK with no argument will set, clear, and
  show (respectively) a breakpoint at the current PC.

1.2 GRI

- Added support for the GRI-99 processor.

1.3 HP2100

- Added support for the BACI terminal interface.
- Added support for RTE OS/VMA/EMA, SIGNAL, VIS firmware extensions.

1.4 Nova

- Added support for 64KW memory (implemented in third-party CPU's).

1.5 PDP-11

- Added support for DC11, RC11, KE11A, KG11A.
- Added modem control support for DL11.
- Added ASCII character support for all 8b devices.

2. Bugs Fixed

26aa6de663 Notes For V3.2-0
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.
