    Xhomer is a machine emulator for the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) Pro 350 computer, a
    PDP-11-based machine that was sold in the early to mid-'80's.  Xhomer is based on the PDP-11
    CPU core from the SIMH simulator, and is written entirely in C.

    Supported Platforms
    Xhomer is an X-windows application that was developed and tested on an x86 Linux system (Red
    Hat 8.0, most recently).  It will likely build and run on other Unix-like systems as well,
    possibly requiring minor tweaks to the Makefile.  In addition to the source, a completely
    statically-linked x86 Linux binary is provided.

    Quick Start
    If you have access to an x86 Linux system, and would like to see a quick demo of Xhomer,
    only two files are required.  Download this statically-linked Xhomer binary and the
    P/OS 3.2 hard disk image file.  Untar the binary (the tarball contains a single executable
    only) and gunzip the disk image in the same directory (the latter expands to about 67 MB):

      gunzip -dc xhomer.static.tgz | tar xvf -
      gunzip pos32.rd.gz

    Next, simply run "xhomer.static."  To exit Xhomer, make sure the emulator window has focus,
    then press ctrl-F1, and select the "Shutdown emulator" option.
