  Sorry it has taken a while to get back to you.

  I made a bit of progress in reading the load files. I've attached my
code below.

  Yup, I'm still interested. Not that I have much free time these
days. :-( I have the same dream as a lot of other folks, seeing the
LispM environment survive. That means either emulating the machine or
porting the software. Unfortunately, both are large tasks complicated
by a lack of available documentation. I say available because I know
someone who has the docs but he's reluctant to make copies.

  What are you up to?
