Version: 10 July 2003
History (partial):
2003-11-15 Changed default value of TTO STIME to 200. It was
defined using a constant from sim_defs.h which was
changed from 10 to 100 at some point. APL\1130 has a
sychronization bug & hangs if the console output complete
interrupt occurs between the XIO SENSE and WAIT instructions.
This bug is hit frequently if the delay time is set to
100 instructions. 10 worked reliably, but is really not realistic,
and 200 may not be adequate in all cases, but we'll try 200 for now.
2003-11-00 Updated GUI to allow drag and drop to simulated card
reader, tear-off from simulated printer
2003-07-10 Fixed disk and console terminal bugs uncovered by
APL\1130. Added APL keyboard and output font support
to enable use of APL\1130. APL will be released soon.
2003-03-18 Fixed bug in asm1130 that produced an error message
with a (legal) offset of +127 in MDX instructions.
Fixed sign bug in 1130 emulator divide instruction.
