+SimH (History Simulator) is a collection of simulators for historically
+significant or just plain interesting computer hardware and software
+from the past. The goal of the project is to create highly portable
+system simulators and to publish them as freeware on the Internet,
+with freely available copies of significant or representative software.
+
+SimH implements simulators for:
+
+- Data General Nova, Eclipse
+- Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-1, PDP-4, PDP-7, PDP-8, PDP-9,
+ PDP-10, PDP-11, PDP-15 (and UC15), VAX11/780, VAX3900
+- GRI Corporation GRI-909, GRI-99
+- IBM 1401, 1620, 7090/7094, System 3
+- Interdata (Perkin-Elmer) 16b and 32b systems
+- Hewlett-Packard 2114, 2115, 2116, 2100, 21MX, 1000, 3000
+- Honeywell H316/H516
+- MITS Altair 8800, 8080 only
+- Royal-Mcbee LGP-30, LGP-21
+- Scientific Data Systems SDS 940
+- Xerox Data Systems Sigma 32b systems
+
+This package contains the "classic" version of SimH, the 3.X stream.
+This version is simpler than the 4.X stream, which can be found in
+Github.
+
+Note: Please add /opt/simh-classic/bin to your $PATH or simply
+ invoke each simulator with simh-classic-"name".
+ Example: simh-classic-vax
