  abstract =     "We describe a interactive PDP-11 simulator that runs
                 on the Apple Macintosh. The simulator has been
                 extremely easy for students at the University of
                 Arkansas to learn and operate after a fraction of one
                 lecture period of explanation. It has been utilized for
                 three years in two undergraduate courses: computer
                 organization and assemblers, translators {\&}amp;
                 compilers. Compared to using an actual PDP-11 or a
                 simulator (not the author's) running on our
                 University's mainframe, we have found that the students
                 using the Macintosh simulator achieve higher
                 productivity, measured not by the number of lines
                 assembled or executed in a second but by the number of
                 human hours spent writing and debugging a program.
                 Students gain a clearer understanding of concepts that
                 are intrinsically dynamic (such as the birth and death
                 of activation records) due to the ease with which
                 (simulated) memory and registers can be monitored
                 during execution.",
