PC SIMULA from Simula a.s Oslo (for DOS, UNIX, ...) is a very stable
product of high quality. It has been commercially available since 
a long time (1987 or even longer?).

The problem with the latest PC SIMULA release (109.4.6 of 1992-07-17) was
caused by a mistake in preparing the distribution media:  a scrappy
version of the special SIMULA linker was included. This linker is only
needed in very special cases or if there is no standard DOS linker
(LINK.EXE) available.

Workaround (requires that LINK.EXE is somewhere in the path):

 cd  sim\dos
 del lnk0s109.exe	-- just to be sure
 sim
 set option l0
 save
 exit

After that, the LINK.EXE will be used and everything works fine.

According to Simula a.s., a fixed version will be distributed soon.
Unfortunately they are not connected to e-mail. Therefore, the 
best communication channel in case of problems will be a fax.

But if you prefer e-mail, please feel free to drop a mail to me,
and I will be happy to forward your message to Simula a.s..

	GOOD LUCK WITH SIMULA  -- not only on DOS ...
