[HECnet] SimH, Ultrix and DECnet

[Mark Benson]

That's a UNIX tradition I think, lot of UNIXs I have used (IRIX,
Solaris, NetBSD to name a few) return the 'preposterous value in Time
if Day clock' or similar error if the date wrong. I think it's
triggered if the system date is prior to the kernel's   date :)

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"!

Tony.
That would be reporting the TOY clock setting then?
