The source for this beast (a curses-based, fairly complete PDP8 simulator)
can be ftp'd from 

	wraith.cs.uow.edu.au

The file is pub/pdp8.tar.Z

(No documentation I'm afraid - but I'm sure Neil won't mind you buying 
the textbook :-)

It moved.  pdp8-lovers(-request)@ai.mit.edu is what you're after,
although the MIT-MC address is still forwarded.  It's alive and well, and
a curses-based 8 simulator is around somewheres for ftp -- I'm sure
someone will let you know where.

Isn't it funny how it's pdp8-lovers, and info-pdp11?  As if no one could
really love the 11 anyway...
