ee9, a GNU emulator of the EE KDF9

[Bill Findlay]

Version 1.5w of ee9, my KDF9 emulator, is now generally available via:

  <http://www.findlayw.plus.com/KDF9/emulation/emulator.html>

(Work back from that URL for more info.)

V1.5w implements a few bug fixes over V1.0v, adds some usability features,
and is based on an optimized compilation, so it is much faster than previous
releases.  

But its most important novelty is that it is the first version to be made
available for MS Windows (XP/SP3 or later) as well as for Intel Linux, with
thanks to Bill Gallagher; for Intel Macs under Leopard, Snow Leopard and
Lion; and for PowerPC Macs under Leopard, with thanks to Mike Hore.

The Windows and Linux versions run in 32-bit mode.
The Mac versions run in 64-bit mode.

Ada relevance? It is written in Ada 2005, using GNAT GPL.

Wow! This is one of the first machines I used. I remember using
Algol60 (Jensen's device) punched cards

Among others, an Algol program by Knuth, "GPS", which uses Jensen's device
heavily, is included in the distro, along with copies of the Whetstone Algol
Translator (compiler) and Controller (interpreter) to run it.

Jensen's device has yet to (re-)surface in Ada.
Parameterized expressions seem to be edging in that direct, though.
Perhaps on the agenda for Ada 60?  8-)

Jensen's device would be written more like this in Ada 60:

Much neater!
