I've been trying to install pcsim on our Model 320 and I failed every time.
The installation instructions say to use smit to install the two
distribution diskettes (everything went well), then to run the following
command with a DOS disk in the floppy drive (I have DOS 3.3).
pcsim -A 3 -C [filename]
(where filename is the name of the file where DOS is to be loaded (i.e. the
C drive)).
This failed.
I did a man page on pcsim and it showed that the -A and -C options are not
defined, and that I should use something like
pcsim -Adiskette 3 -Cdrive [filename]
I tried both with no success, getting the following every time:
ERROR: NLS message catalog missing.
ERROR: NLS message catalog missing. -A
ERROR: NLS message catalog missing.
Trying just pcsim without any options results in booting with BASIC.
The /usr/lpp/pcsim directory seems OK:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 315 Nov 30 16:43 copyright*
drwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 512 Nov 30 16:44 lib/
-rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 8782 May 29 1990 lpp.README
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 2120 Nov 30 16:43 lpp.X11*
-rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 66048 Nov 30 16:44 lpp.bios
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 852 Nov 30 16:43 lpp.cleanup*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 668810 Nov 30 16:45 lpp.simulator*
drwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 512 Nov 30 16:44 samples/
drwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 512 Nov 30 16:44 tty/
The /usr/lpp/pcsimmEn_US directory looks like:
-rw-r----- 1 root system 270 Nov 30 16:42 copyright
-rwxr-x--x 1 root system 1148 Nov 30 16:42 lpp.cleanup*
It seems to me that something is wrong here. I followed the install
procedure correctly for this disk, or did I? Anyone have any clues?
Thanks in advance.
