There are still some bugs in it, disk and tape support are still
missing, and I could not test it with a non-German keyboard layout. I
nonetheless wanted to share the WIP version to give you a first impression.
You can try it out and write some small BASIC or APL programs at

Very nice. I would like to suggest if it isn't too much trouble that
you see about a soft keyboard. I tried using it in a mode I use all the
time. I have a number of virtual desktops that I connect to and use via
RDP. I am using a mac for the system with the screen (has a retina
display).
Problem is the keyboard is for the mac, so the keyboard mappings is
useless. I know this is an oddball situation, but is probably one worth
thinking about.
The approach I would prefer would be similar to what X3270 does, to
launch the soft keys when needed.
It worked fine, entered a basic program and it proceeded to take off. I
just didn't have any way to break the execution.
Excellent work.
thanks
Jim
