I also love simulator, but I like keeping it simple. (What can I say, I work at NetApp!) Hence, my simplified versions of wrapper scripts, in the target directory:

runsim script (run simulator)

stty intr ^X
./maytag.L -qfD
stty intr ^C

runflop script (run floppy boot)

stty intr ^X
./maytag.L -qD
stty intr ^C

i love simulator

if you interested in , i wrote a script to lauch the simulator
main features :
- retreive the executable from anywhere you are (you have to put the script in the path)
- generate a log (in the current dir) if you wish it throught an interactive question
- avoid Ctrl-C to be intercepted by the shell (replaced by Crtrl-A as explain in the paper)
- let you specify additionnal arguments as the original command maytag.L supports
--- warning : several text in french but hopfully w/out accent

the script :
<<
#! /bin/bash
# author : me me me
# version : final alfa release

echo "-- wrapper maytag.L"

old_stty=$(stty -g)
stty -icanon time 1 min 0 -echo
    letest=""
    echo -n "** generer le log lasimontap.log ? [oy/N] "
    while [ -z "$letest" ]; do
        read letest
    done
    MYLOG=""
    if ([ "$letest" = "o" ] || [ "$letest" = "y" ]); then
        echo $letest
        echo -e "-- log sauve dans $PWD/lasimontap.log (mode append)\n"
        echo -e "\n** lasimontap.log du `date`\n" >> $PWD/lasimontap.log
        MYLOG="| tee $PWD/lasimontap.log"
    else
        echo $letest
        echo -e "-- log non sauve\n"
    fi
stty $old_stty

old_stty=$(stty -g)
stty intr ^a
    cd /mnt/nac/home/Netapp/Simulator/sim
    echo -e "** execution de /mnt/nac/home/Netapp/Simulator/sim/maytag.L -qf $@\n"
    eval "/mnt/nac/home/Netapp/Simulator/sim/maytag.L -qf $@ $MYLOG"
stty $old_stty

trap "stty $old_stty" KILL QUIT EXIT

>>

WARNING : this only work on linux
(for linux, you could perhaps try to install cygwin and see if simulator works on it)

enjoy

Does this work on different OS's other than Linux?
Can the Simulater be installed on XP?
    

For now: Linux.
