247	PROM fields are at octal (not decimal) offsets + there are more fields of interest	David Rosenberg	Eric Swenson	"The Multics Differences document specified the locations of PROM fields at octal offsets, but Multics interpretted those offsets as if they were decimal. We since found out that ISOLTS interprets the offsets as being octal (as the Multics Differences document specifies). The simulated PROM has been adjusted to place fields at the octal offsets. Multics has to be corrected to expect them there.

Issue #112 documents this '''and also''' documents new fields that the DPS8M simulator project added to the simulated PROM so that Multics can know which version of the simulator it is running and can issue a warning if that version of Multics knows that it would be adversely affected by the (older) version of the simulator on which it is running. Code should be added to Multics to::[[BR]]
1. Read the additional information from the PROM[[BR]]
2. (Possibly) store it somewhere appropriate[[BR]]
3. Write it to a log file[[BR]]
4. Issue a warning message if the currently running version of Multics knows that it could be adversely affected by a known problem in the running simulator that has been corrected in a later version of the simulator
