Separate boot ROMs are available for each of the DEQNA, DELQA and DELQA-T devices being simulated.
DEQNA-Lock mode has been added to the DELQA and DELQA-T simulations.
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.

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.

5. General Notes
WARNING: The RESTORE command has changed. RESTORE will now
detach an attached file on a unit, if that unit did not have
an attached file in the saved configuration. This is required
to assure that the unit flags and the file state are consistent.
WARNING: The compilation scheme for the PDP-10, PDP-11, and VAX
has changed. Use one of the supplied build files, or read the
documentation carefully, before compiling any of these simulators.
