Thanks to all who responded regarding the simulator called "simderella".  
Although it is written in "C" it is not all the standard dialect; part
of the code is written in ANSI-C while other parts are written in K&R C.
I understand that this could be a compiler anomaly, but part of it at least
is attributable to the coding style.  I am still trying to port the code
to my machine (a HP 750 with color graphics).  Also there are some anomalies
in both the sockets code and the usage of the math libraries which cause 
a few headaches.  I will report later when I have, hopefully, completed the 
port.  If anyone has successfully ported simderella to the HP S700 platform 
please let me know.

Please understand that I am not flaming the author of this program,  He wrote
the program for the machine which he had and therefore used its resources.
If anyone has another simulator I would like to know.

I am doing this as a personal project.
