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

b6393b36b4 Notes For V3.3
RESTRICTION: The HP DS disk is not debugged.  DO NOT enable this
feature for normal operations.
WARNING: Massive changes in the PDP-11 make all previous SAVEd
file obsolete.  Do not attempt to use a PDP-11 SAVE file from a
prior release with V3.3!
