The late Harry Reed and Charles Anthony reached a major milestone on the Multics simulator on Saturday 08 November, 2014. Their hardware simulator booted Multics MR 12.5 software, came to operator command level, entered admin mode, created a small PL/I program, compiled and executed it, and shut down. DPS8M Simulator Release 3.1.0 is now available. See the Release Notes. There have been multiple updates to Multics software for the simulator: the latest version is MR 12.8, August 2023. Anyone can try out a simulated Multics or install the simulator on their own computer. Open Source for Multics is hosted at MIT, courtesy of Bull HN. It is available "for any purpose and without fee" provided that the copyright notice and historical background are preserved in all copies.
