Message after installing

Note that the executable files for some simulators have been renamed
to remove conflicts with other ports. In such cases, the name is now
prefixed with 'simh'. Affected simulators are:

	eclipse becomes simh-eclipse
	gri becomes simh-gri
	nova becomes simh-nova

Users may wish to create a symbolic link to these, or an alias,
if they want to use the old names.

The file needed by the VAX emulator is located in:

	/usr/local/share/simh
