Various operating systems have amusing messages.   One of the fun ones in RSTS (unless you got it) was what it would print if the program was killed due to an addressing error or parity error or the like.   

"Program lost -- sorry"

Hi.

Has anyone had any success emulating Ultrix with DECnet under SimH? 
I managed to find a copy of 4.0, and the "tape" claimed that it was installing DECnet, but I couldn't find any evidence of it anywhere on the system.
I may just be being stupid (this is not unknown).

An aside: You've got to love an OS that gives you error messages containing the word "preposterous"!
