Micro PASSIM, a GPSS-based simulation system, was transported from the Apple II to the HP 9836; this paper discusses the prob lems associated with moving a large program from one UCSD Pascal system to another. Micro PASSIM was transported to the HP system so that an Ethernet to HPIB interface board could be modeled. The model is described and the results obtained from the simulation are discussed. Discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of using micro PASSIM rather than a standard language, such as GPSS, is also included.
