We consider the N=(1,1) super Yang-Mills (SYM) theory that is obtained by dimensionally reducing SYM theory in 2+1 dimensions to 1+1 dimensions and discuss soft supersymmetry breaking. We discuss the numerical simulation of this theory using supersymmetric discrete light-cone quantization when either the boson or the fermion has a large mass. We compare our result to the pure adjoint fermion theory and pure adjoint boson discrete light-cone quantization calculations of Klebanov, Demeterfi, Bhanot and Kutasov. With a large boson mass we find that it is necessary to add additional operators to the theory to obtain sensible results. When a large fermion mass is added to the theory we find that it is not necessary to add operators to obtain a sensible theory. The theory of the adjoint boson is a theory that has stringy bound states similar to the full SYM theory. We also discuss another theory of adjoint bosons with a spectrum similar to that obtained by Klebanov, Demeterfi, and Bhanot.
