$ you have replied to a pcsim query there alreay
$
$ The problems are
$
$ 1. pcsim exits soon after startup
$
$ Xscope show that it was looking the rom* fonts and when this
$ request failed it exited siliently
$
$ The work-around for this was to install the ibm rom fonts
$ for the X-terminal
$
$ I think pcsim should print an error message on font failure
$ rather than exit silently
$
This should be opened as an APAR and dealt so that we here in Austin can fix
the problem as soon as possible.
$ 2. pcsim does not understand non-ibm xterminal keyboard.
$
$ I suspect because pcsim is looking at terminal dependant keycodes
$ (different for nearly every X-server) rather than the terminal
$ independent keysyms.
$
$ Can I configure pcsim to work with my terminal and how ??
$
This is currently being worked on, don't know how soon it would become
available. Opening the problem up as an APAR might get the fix out sooner.
