There was "emulation" of a 360... RCA Spectra/70.

Hi Keith,

When I first learned programming on a 1401 (1969) there was no RPG, just
AutoCoder.  It was the System/3 where I first played with it.

And SIMH (http://simh.trailing-edge.com/) also has emulators for a bunch of
machines including the 1401:

"SIMH implements simulators for:

 Data General Nova, Eclipse
 Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-1, PDP-4, PDP-7, PDP-8, PDP-9, PDP-10,
PDP- 11, PDP-15, VAX
 GRI Corporation GRI-909
 IBM 1401, 1620, 1130, System 3
 Interdata (Perkin-Elmer) 16b and 32b systems
 Hewlett-Packard 2116, 2100, 21MX
 Honeywell H316/H516
 MITS Altair 8800, with both 8080 and Z80
 Royal-Mcbee LGP-30, LGP-21
 Scientific Data Systems SDS 940"

Don't forget the 1401.
The first system to popularize RPG.

There's a working System/3 simulator (google SIMH) for the PC which
includes the RPG & Cobol compilers.  Unfortuately no CCP.

1401 emulation was included with the 360/370.  You could run hercules
(360/370/390 hardware emulator) and have the 360 RPG compiler as well.
