 Given the fact that the current code state is visible to all in the
 github repo, the need for formal releases is significantly lessened.

Yes, I was thinking maybe the concept of an official release didn't apply
but I wanted to ask because I didn't know whether the development sources
were subject to breakage or not. You clarified that:

 The current code is in the best state almost all of the time.

Great news. I'll use that from now on then.

 Issues raised in the github issue system
 (https://github.com/simh/simh/issues) or here on the simh list often are
 fixed quickly and the best code is then available to all.

Thanks to you and everybody working on and contributing to SIMH. It's one
of the few truly portable pieces of code I've seen in a while!

That fortunately isn't the case. You can interrupt the emulation (^E)
and type commands to change the trottle setting, then CONTinue.
