[ih] Run TENEX in emulation!

[Lars Brinkhoff]

Hello,

In reference to an earlier thread on ths list, "Run TENEX in
emulation?", I can now answer in the affirmative.  Richard Cornwell and
I have been working on getting TENEX running on his PDP-10 emulator.
The first roadblock was finding a consistent set of files to assemble
and link a working monitor, using TOPS-20 for bootstrapping.  Several
ones we tried had various problems, but finally we came across this one
from the dual KI10 at SUMEX.

We still don't have everything working in perfect order, but at least we
can get to the mini-exec and have it load EXEC and run from DECtape.
