       gunzip -c xxdp25.rl02.gz > xxdp25.dsk

3. Usage -------------------------------------------------------------

   - Start them in simulator

       pdp11 xxdp22_rl_boot.scmd

       pdp11 xxdp25_rl_boot.scmd

     or on w11a

       ti_w11  @xxdp22_rl_boot.tcl

       ti_w11  @xxdp25_rl_boot.tcl

     where  is the proper option set for the board.

   - Hit  in the xterm window to connect to simh or backend server.

     The boot dialog in the console xterm window will look like

     (required input is in {..}, with {} denoting a carriage return.

     XXDP V2.2 boot dialog:

       CHMDLD0 XXDP+ DL MONITOR

       BOOTED VIA UNIT 0

       28K UNIBUS SYSTEM

       ENTER DATE (DD-MMM-YY): {10-jan-85}

       RESTART ADDR: 152010

       THIS IS XXDP+.  TYPE "H" OR "H/L" FOR HELP.

       .

     XXDP V2.5 boot dialog:

       BOOTING UP XXDP-XM EXTENDED MONITOR

       XXDP-XM EXTENDED MONITOR - XXDP V2.5

       REVISION: F0

       BOOTED FROM DL0

       124KW OF MEMORY

       UNIBUS SYSTEM

       RESTART ADDRESS: 152000

       TYPE "H" FOR HELP !

       .

     Now you are at the XXDP prompt '.' and can exercise the system:

       . {H}

         --> will print help

       . {D}

         --> will list the files

       . {R EKBAD0}

         --> will run the 'PDP 11/70 cpu diagnostic part 1'

     There is no 'halt' or 'shutdown' command, just terminate the

     simulator or backend server session.
