I'd like to package simtools for openSUSE and would need a license information that allows for redistribution.

Trying to create a directory on an RK07 image results in an error:

ODS2$> INIT/CREATE/MEDIUM_TYPE=RK07/LOG/MOUNT TREK7_V1.01.RK7 TREK7

As noted in open-simh/simh#215 (comment)
it might be useful to have an option in ods2 to do the equivalent of

$ mount dua1: STANDBACKUP
$ set def dua1:[000000]
$ set file/enter=[000000]sysexe.dir [sys0]sysexe.dir

to fix up bootable disks.

Compilation fails on NetBSD because

In file included from ./sim_ether.c:1023:
/usr/include/pcap/pcap.h:962: error: "INVALID_SOCKET" redefined [-Werror]
   #define INVALID_SOCKET -1

In file included from ./sim_ether.h:70,
                 from ./sim_ether.c:373:
./sim_sock.h:93: note: this is the location of the previous definition
 #define INVALID_SOCKET  ((SOCKET)-1)

I suppose the order of include files should be rearranged, and sim_sock.h should test if INVALID_SOCKET is already defined. I haven't checked yet if this actually works.

I use the following commands to transfer the MORIA VMS PASCAL sources (including a MORIAHLP.HLB) from my PC to an RD31 disk image:

SET NOERROR_EXIT

When I try to read the MORIAHLP.HLB from MORIA (or DCL), I get the following error message:

The MORIAHLP.HLB characteristics as seen from VMS DCL are:

to put the files obtained from https://www.digiater.nl/openvms/decus/vax82a/mtrek/ on an RK07 ods2 image file.

When I edited some of the .com files on the VAX, I noticed that after saving I still had one version of the edited file only.

DIR/FULL shows "No version limit" falsely.
A workaround is: SET FILE/VERSION=0 .;*
