Hi Michael,

That sounds pretty good. If it's not a problem for you to upload it
somewhere I'd certainly like to take a look. I actually started writing
something similar myself when I was at university, but I don't think I
ever finished coding up all the instructions and I don't know if I could
still find it anyway.

At the risk of looking a gift horse in the mouth, how well tested was
your 6502 emulation? Did you run much stuff on it?

Thanks.

Steve
