Empire

FYI, @WalterBright asks:

Yes, but can it run Empire for the -10?

Hmmm maybe? Will have to load it up and try it out when I get a second… Paul On 21 Dec 2021, at 4:54 pm, Lars Brinkhoff ***@***.***> wrote:  FYI, @WalterBright<https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FWalterBright&data=04%7C01%7C%7C34ff48dc8a784ae29a7608d9c4465aa0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637756628718130452%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=nGDJilFi%2BqRTs5pPqeuIEtqU4p2Pg9qJJJNHqNi3G%2Fc%3D&reserved=0> asks<https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.ycombinator.com%2Fitem%3Fid%3D29629486&data=04%7C01%7C%7C34ff48dc8a784ae29a7608d9c4465aa0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637756628718130452%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=WB8SqP9yYEjmXSOItKZPn440utpvaGzb6X0WTB7g8yA%3D&reserved=0>: Yes, but can it run Empire for the -10? https://github.com/DigitalMars/Empire-for-PDP-10<https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FDigitalMars%2FEmpire-for-PDP-10&data=04%7C01%7C%7C34ff48dc8a784ae29a7608d9c4465aa0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637756628718140409%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=fn%2FQrujBrcHIkTnbtYhyOjW%2BAjAZhNWNe4eNVTCmSQE%3D&reserved=0> — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub<https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fpaulnank%2Fnankervis-pdp10-js%2Fissues%2F1&data=04%7C01%7C%7C34ff48dc8a784ae29a7608d9c4465aa0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637756628718140409%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=REMYGhOH6f1iLbEECp4l2gyS9OPUMeeZ715q0SW6d%2Fw%3D&reserved=0>, or unsubscribe<https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fnotifications%2Funsubscribe-auth%2FAKZI2FPGIL626RNIQEJH3SDUSAJBLANCNFSM5KPKTVUQ&data=04%7C01%7C%7C34ff48dc8a784ae29a7608d9c4465aa0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637756628718150364%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=TpLxPyvm4iEHQhKLmbvuH02uqUkFdq2JoLJPBOJn5ow%3D&reserved=0>.

I'd love to see it run again!

The Emperor https://twitter.com/ClassicEmpire is watching this!

There isn't a shortage of PDP-10 emulators these days, so I'm surprised no one has given it a try yet. I suppose it ran on TOPS-10? Ping @rcornwell.

[WalterBright]

It ran on whatever version ran on the 1978 Caltech PDP-10!

Sadly Empire doesn't link properly with the version of the Fortran compiler installed in the current system. The Macro code compiles OK and I edited some of the Fortran to get it to compile without fatal errors, but I haven't been successful in getting it to link. I'll have to play around further at a later time to see if it is the way Fortran is installed or whether it is some other problem....

I understand @rcornwell also failed in the link step.
