[... more problems running the pcsim lpp described ...]

When the pcsim lpp was originally shipped, there was a missing link statement
in the installation process.  This link added soft-links from the
/usr/lpp/msg/En_US directory to the /usr/lpp/msg/C default language directory.
This has been corrected for the the latest installation diskettes of pcsim
(not sure when they'll become available).

The solution for now is setting your LANG environment variable to LANG=En_US
which will get you all the necessary pcsim messages and will allow you to 
actually use the simulator.  The drawback is that you will now get multi-lined
error messages from normal system commands rather than the one's that Unix
folks are used to seeing.  The other solution would be to create the necessary
links fromt the /usr/lpp/msg/C directory to the /usr/lpp/msg/En_US directory
where the messages really reside.
