Known bugs

Known issues with current PC jserver version 5.8 build:-

1. The Minix Operating System 'transputer demo' created by Stuart Menefy (see Minix OS archive) does still not fully run. The Minix boot monitor runs, but the emulator hangs soon after the 'boot' command is executed. It's very frustrating! But at least it now displays memory stats which is further than it run previously (see screen shots). It also responds to ctrl-z.

2. The multiprocessor jserver support only works for multiple transputer emulation between Win32 consoles running on a single PC. To provide multiprocessor jserver support across multiple PCs on a local network, the following environment variable must be set on each PC.

LCM_DEFAULT_URL=udpm://239.255.76.67:7667?ttl=1

The above sets the multicast time-to-live (TTL) to 1 so that packets published will enter the local network.

3. The command line option /SL is not processed by the server and if entered on the command line will be wrongly passed to the booted transputer application if and when requested by a command line request.
