Simulator Versions 3 and 4

 

Version 3

Version 3 never reached a quality fit for distribution and was abandoned. It would not have differed much from version 2.

Version 4

Version 4 is very interesting. It simulates the fetch excute cycle in much more detail than versions 2 and 5 but the product is not finished or debugged. It also has a coding wizard so complete beginners can generate syntactically correct code easily even if the code is logically wrong.

It might see the light of day as Version 6 if I ever get time to complete the work.

Version 5.0

Version 5.0 is based on version 2.3 and has been updated to take advantage of some newer Windows control features. Several user interface and other bugs have been fixed. A couple of new peripherals have been added and the help system modernised and simplified. Some processes like assembling and run tracing have been made visible to the user. These may be educationally useful and I'd like feedback on the new version.
