:-) Don't have the time for an entire re-write at the moment, and the
emualtors aren't really where my expertise lies. I really must try and
concentrate on getting the Ecolink drivers finished, and then I have to
write a NET FS on the PC. If it was a bug fix then I'd have considered it.

Sounds good to me. It could be created as an extension to the documentation
project.

This also relates back to what Dave Gilbert was saying, and which I agree
with. It would be far better to take some of the open source emualtors like
BeebEm and improve on them rather that continually re-invent the wheel
writing new emualtors. Mind you, I suppose an emualtor is also re-inventing
the wheel in its own way, not quite, but almost.
