in reply to Perl ZX Spectrum Emulator

    A MIX emulator in perl? That sounds great, Wow!

    Update: I once wrote an emulator (but no assembler) for a much simpler processor than either of these in Ruby, and my obfu Re: Pattern matching can be said to simulate an even simpler processor (well, I've compiled it with a simple assembler program I've written in ruby).
