       | This emulator resulted from basically combining two projects: an
       | investigation into alternative architectural features for
       | computer systems and an alternate history of Earth touching,
       | among other things, the IT industry. I therefore personally call
       | it a work of both fiction and research, a prototype of and
       | glimpse into what else could have plausibly existed.
       | 
       | Its chief characteristic is its system architecture, which in
       | particular combines capability-based addressing with an
       | experimental interrupt mechanism. It does have its own ISAs and
       | leans heavily towards a mainframe-style organisation (processors
       | and channels), but it is intended to be extensible and adaptable
       | to other situations and/or smaller systems. There is no assembler
       | yet, however; I am implementing it, but a lot of details need to
       | be laid down.
       | 
       | It builds with CMake and has been tested on Linux and Windows; on
       | macOS using Xcode, the C++ standard might have to be set to C++
       | 17 to build (linked to an unordered_map in one of the includes
       | using an enum class as a key).
       | 
       | Thanks in advance for your attention and feedback.
       | 
       | P.S. I am in CET so replies can take several hours, just a heads-
       | up.

           | same spirit, yes, and I would not hesitate to share my word
           | choices if there is interest.
