Recently there has been some discussion on isim. As pointed out by some
users, the Unix (well, SUN) version has some advantages over the real
thing because it can emulate a system with a lot of memory (if I'm not
wrong, limited only by swap space ?); I don't think the
Transputer-based isim (the one shipped with MSDOS systems) has this
ability.

Now, we have bought the MSDOS versions of the Occam and C compilers,
but we'd still like to get/buy a version of isim running on a
DECstation. Is such a thing available (and if so, what's the ordering
information ?).

As an aside, it would be VERY NICE of Inmos if the source for isim were
made publicly available, same as they did with their servers and other
stuff (e.g. the 'check' program). I don't think this would stop people
from buying Transputers!

I guess Inmos people are the most likely to answer my questions.
