Ouch. I remember them. When I studied it (3 years ago) there were
acltually two simulators: for DOS and for windows. The windows one was
user-friendly (no powerful commands to confuse you) and 10-20 times slower
yet the the DOS one, so nobody used it. I applaud their ability to write
a simulator of a simple assembler that would be unberable to wait for
(minutes(?)) when runing a thousand-cycle loop :-----)

Great! I was a little afraid that they can have some claims if I work a
lot in the farms (conveniently, they don't have up-to-date Python
installed anywhere so lately I always work at home :-).
