👑 VAX780(1) — General Commands Manual

okay bestie, we're in the General Commands Manual, and the star of the show is vax780 ✨

💖 NAME 💖

vax780 — simulate a VAX 780 computer 🖥️💫

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vax780

that's it. that's the whole thing. no flags, no args, just vibes 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this manual page documents briefly the vax780 command. lowkey important context: this page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page 😭 instead, it's got documentation chilling in various text files — see below, bestie 👇

⚠️ heads up: the copyright situation for the VAX "bios" is unclear. so the ka655.bin file is not included in this Debian package. no cap, it's just not there 💀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • for a complete description, see the text files 📄 (yes queen, the real tea lives in the docs)

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀
