[amsat-bb] Am1601 Emulator & IPS-F1G Available

[paul.willmott@xxxxxxx]

Hi Group,

IPS is a powerful yet simple process control language. It is very
stable and reliable. 

A custom processor code-named the Am1601 is currently under development for
AMSAT use. This processor is being specifically designed to be IPS friendly.

An Am1601 emulator program for Windows NT, and a general user version of IPS
to run on the emulator are now available for download. 

The purpose of the emulator is to aid the design and development of the
hardware Am1601, not to run "real-life" programs. IPS running on the
emulator is considerably slower than it would be on a real hardware machine.
That said the emulator is a very useful tool for debugging purposes.

It is being made available to the general public for peer review
purposes, and is provided "as is" under the GNU license. This is
a work in progress, ... please remember that!

The Programmers Reference for the Am1601 is available in both MS Word and
.pdf formats on the AMSAT-NA web site.

You can find the emulator and documentation here:

General documentation on IPS and IPS-X can be found in the IPSDOS (ips.zip)
file, which can be found here:
