--- Comment #1 from bob@eager.cx ---
I don't quite understand this. SIMH has been a port for almost 20 years, and
that includes the use of 'pdp8'. If I understand the comment correctly, Dave
wants the VAX emulator renamed to simh-vax, and presumably all of the other
SIMH=20
emulators too. Is this correct, or is there something special about the 'va=
x'
name?

Does he also want SIMH to yield the pdp8 name so that he can use it for his
emulator? Surely that would then pollute the namespace too?

I am not sure of the best solution, but would suggest that after 20 years, =
the
status quo should be retained.=20

Who decides?
