Hi, Ivan

I've never used it, but it looks pretty neat at first glance.  I promise that I'll try it out soon, and get back to you on my impressions.

If you have the time, I would encourage you to continue development ... for your own enjoyment, if nothing else.  I've been doing stuff like that for years, like posting different implementations on 99-bottles-of-beer.net, porting VTL-2 to the Apple 1, and writing a simulator for a custom 24-bit microprocessor (in 6502 assembly)!

I have two more microprocessor designs in the works:  a 32-bit 'byte' version of the 6502, and a clean-sheet 10-bit 'byte' decimal one.  I don't care who enjoys it; I do it to make my brain "feel good", and to slightly annoy my wife by not paying more attention to her ;-).
