Supposedly, KLH's emulator will be released in binary form "in the
near future", i.e. when he gets time. This information is third-hand,
so don't hold your breath.

I don't know anything about the status of Stu Grossman's emulator.

Daniel Seagraves is actively working on his KL-10 emulator called "e10",
at http://bony.umtec.com/pdp10.html.

Megan Gentry's early emulator work seems to have disappeared, maybe
it's just no longer accessable online.

Finally, our last best hope comes from Timothy Stark, who's been
working like a ferret on meth to get his KS10 emulator out the door.
He's been teasing us with the screendumps of his emulator in progress,
and it boots and runs TOPS-10 promisingly well. The first source
release should be within the very, very near future, within a few
weeks or so. I'm sure someone will let the group know when it hits
the streets, so we can all be beta testers!
